Our Surveys
Asbestos Management Surveys
The purpose of a management survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence, condition and extent of any suspect ACMs (Asbestos Containing Materials) in the building, which may be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy. Management surveys will often involve minor intrusive work and disturbance.
A management survey includes an assessment of the condition of the various ACMs and gives a good initial guide to the priority for managing ACMs. It will identify the materials which most readily release airborne fibres if they are disturbed. Sampling confirms the presence or absence of ACM's.
Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys
A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or, in the whole building, if demolition is planned. The survey is fully intrusive and involves destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach.
Refurbishment and demolition surveys should only be conducted in unoccupied areas to minimise risks to the public or employees on the premises. For minor refurbishment, this would only apply to the room involved, or even part of the room, where the work is small and the room large. In these situations, there should be effective isolation of the survey area (e.g. full floor to ceiling partition), and furnishings should be removed or protected using sheeting, as far as possible.

Testimonials
D.Davies
Excellent throughout. Very reasonably priced. Very professional. Asbestos Survey, Hull.
R.Lovitt
Richard was excellent, I needed help due to a request from my solicitor on the 24/12 and Richard saved the day he came and did the survey on the 27/12 and had the report done and emailed to me later that day. It was a fantastic service which I would say was comprehensive helpful organised and reasonable with Richard explaining every element and giving great advice along the way. All the best for 2019. Asbestos Survey, Filey, North Yorkshire.

Absolutely tremendous service from start to end. Not only was Richard cheaper than all the others but he was also able to do it quicker. He drew plans and had the report with us the next day. Really pleased. Asbestos Survey, Selby.

We had a great experience, within 5 minutes I had several phone calls all with quotations. We chose to go with Richard Walters (RAW Asbestos) who was extremely helpful and friendly and the quotation was less than other quotations we had been given. I arranged a date and time over the phone. Overall a great experience. Thank you. Asbestos, York, North Yorkshire.
