Surveys
Asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey in Liverpool
Before any building work, a refurbishment and demolition survey finds asbestos in the areas that will be disturbed. It is more intrusive than a management survey and is needed before work starts.
Builders, developers and homeowners in Liverpool are asked for this survey before knocking walls through, stripping ceilings, replacing roofs or demolishing garages. It is intrusive: the surveyor opens up voids and samples materials inside the work area.
The area is usually empty or sealed during the survey. The report tells the contractor exactly what must be removed first, so removal, new roof and the main build can be planned in the right order.

Common questions
Do I need this for a garage demolition?
Yes, an asbestos survey of the garage is needed first, because the roof and cladding often contain asbestos.
Can the same company remove it?
We introduce you to an independent removal contractor after the survey, with no obligation.
