FAQS
The duty to manage asbestos follows whoever controls the relevant part of the premises, and leases typically divide that between landlord and tenant. In practical terms, if your fit-out or refurbishment disturbs the fabric of the building, you need the survey and the controls in place regardless of ownership. We work for both sides regularly and can explain how the duty is likely to fall in your situation.
In the majority of cases, yes. Affected zones are sealed off and ventilation pathways are managed, with reassurance air testing available for areas that remain occupied nearby. If a floor or zone genuinely needs to be vacated, we identify that at survey stage so it is planned for, not discovered on the first morning.
Drawings, programme dates and site access. A refurbishment and demolition survey of the affected areas is the essential first step. Asbestos removal is then sequenced ahead of the strip-out phase so that demolition crews are never working into live material. We are experienced working alongside main contractors on exactly this kind of conversion project across Kent.
Higher-risk materials such as sprayed coatings, pipe insulation and most AIB may only be removed under an HSE licence with 14-day notification. If your survey identifies any of these, we flag it immediately and manage the licensed elements under the correct arrangements, all within the same programme and contract.
Asbestos survey slots are generally available within days, and written reports follow within five working days of the visit. If you are working to an insurance renewal, an audit or a contractor start date, let us know the deadline and we will build our turnaround around it.
Yes, per phase, confirmed after the survey. If concealed materials emerge during works, any additional scope is surveyed, priced and agreed with you in writing before it is touched. Nothing appears on the final invoice without your prior approval.
Routinely. Evening and overnight phasing for trading premises is standard practice, with the area sealed, cleared and cleaned back to normal before your opening time. The programme is structured around your operating hours at survey stage and priced accordingly.
