After checking all areas of the property, documenting and recording everything we encounter from your ceilings to the floors, attic space to the basement levels including heating, insulation, electrical units, floor coverings and gas .The report that you receive at the end of your survey will contain a number of pieces of information, set out in a way that is easy to understand. In the report, you will find:

• A summary of the survey
• The main findings and the scope of survey
• Overall recommendations and conclusions
• Any further actions required
• Of course, having been in the property ourselves, we can offer more advice on the next steps to take if removal is required or you simply want to know what level of risk there is to leave it in situ.

You may be about to carry out refurbishment work on a property or planning to   demolish a building, outhouse, garage or other barn type structure. You will require a Refurbishment & Demolition Survey. (Officially called as per HSG 264 A Refurbishment/Demolition Asbestos Survey, typically abbreviated to (R&D Asbestos survey). This is a mandatory requirement before any upgrading, refurbishment or demolition works commences.

As part of the survey, we will investigate the areas to be disturbed before the  building works. When we do this, these surveys can (but not always) require us to break into partitions looking for hidden asbestos cement or asbestos insulating board sheets, and

panels. We may need to tear up floorboards or floor coverings where we look for  vinyl asbestos tiles underneath the existing carpets and it is quite common in certain older type of properties.

Minor upgrades to properties such as a new lock installed or walls or floors painted  do not necessarily constitute a Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Survey. A sample test of the area can be sufficient to determine if the walls/ceilings contain any amcs.
