BOHS P405 – Management of Asbestos in Buildings
RSPH Asbestos Surveying Qualifications (or equivalent)
UKAS Accredited Inspection Bodies (ISO/IEC 17020), where applicable
UKAS Accredited Laboratory Analysis (ISO/IEC 17025), where sampling is required
Industry frameworks including ATaC, UKATA, ARCA or ACAD

Every appointed professional is verified for qualifications, relevant experience and suitability before being introduced to your project.

Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Survey Overview

An Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Survey is an intrusive investigation undertaken before refurbishment, alteration, soft-strip or demolition works.

Unlike an Asbestos Management Survey, which supports ongoing building occupation and maintenance, an R&D Survey is designed to locate asbestos-containing materials within affected work areas that could be disturbed during construction activities.

The survey provides project teams with essential asbestos information to support safe planning, contractor management and CDM 2015 Pre-Construction Information requirements.

What Is Included in Your Assessment Scope

Every quotation is custom-scoped to reflect your building’s height, construction type, access parameters, and available documentation.

1. Desktop Review & Project Assessment

Review of available project information, including:

Existing asbestos registers, management plans and previous surveys.
Architectural drawings and proposed refurbishment or demolition information.
Scope of works, contractor requirements and affected areas.
Available information regarding service routes and building alterations.

2. .Intrusive Asbestos Inspection

A qualified asbestos surveyor conducts intrusive inspections within the agreed work boundary, which may include:

Opening-up walls, partitions, ceilings and service enclosures.
Inspection beneath floor coverings, screeds and adhesives.
Investigation of ceiling voids, roof spaces and structural cavities.
Inspection of risers, plant rooms and service areas.
Examination of concealed construction materials affected by planned works.

3. Bulk Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

Where suspected ACMs are identified:

Representative samples are collected using controlled sampling techniques.
Samples are analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Results confirm asbestos presence and fibre type where applicable.

4. Survey Report & Asbestos Register

The appointed specialist provides:

Itemised asbestos register for affected work areas.
Location references and photographic records.
UKAS laboratory analysis certificates.
Survey limitations identifying inaccessible areas.
Recommendations for removal, encapsulation, enclosure or management controls.

How Are Quotes Calculated?

Quotations are prepared individually based on project complexity rather than generic building size:

Scope of Works: Full demolition, refurbishment areas or targeted alterations.
Building Size & Complexity: Floor area, storeys, layout and construction type.
Intrusive Access Requirements: Number of areas requiring opening-up investigation.
Existing Information Available: Previous surveys, drawings and asbestos records.
Sampling Requirements: Number of suspected ACMs requiring laboratory analysis.
Project Constraints: Occupied buildings, restricted access, working hours and site conditions.

Asbestos Survey FAQs

Do Compliance Assured carry out ASBESTOS R&D Surveys directly?

No. Compliance Assured coordinates competent asbestos surveying professionals and accredited laboratories who undertake the intrusive inspection, laboratory analysis and technical reporting.

Is an R&D Survey required before refurbishment or demolition works?

Where planned works may disturb asbestos-containing materials, asbestos must be identified before work begins under Regulation 5 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What is the difference between a Management Survey and an R&D Survey?

A Management Survey supports normal building occupation and maintenance by identifying accessible ACMs. An R&D Survey is intrusive and investigates areas affected by planned refurbishment, alteration or demolition works.

Can an existing Asbestos Management Survey be used instead?

No. A Management Survey is not a substitute for an R&D Survey because the inspection methods and purpose are different.

Does an R&D Survey include asbestos removal?

No. The survey identifies asbestos risks and provides information required for safe planning. Removal works are separately arranged where required.

Can an R&D Survey be completed in an occupied building?

R&D Surveys are normally completed within vacant or controlled areas due to the intrusive nature of the inspection. Where occupied areas are unavoidable, suitable controls and access arrangements can be considered.

What happens if areas cannot be accessed?

Any inaccessible areas within the survey boundary are documented within the survey limitations and may require further investigation before works proceed.

What information is required to receive an R&D Survey quotation?

Typically, we require the building address, proposed scope of works, affected areas, available drawings, previous asbestos information and any access or service isolation constraints.
