Before demolition

What the survey information supports

A well-scoped report allows asbestos work to be separated from general demolition risk.

Tendering

Define ACM locations and likely removal packages before contractor pricing.

Sequencing

Plan enabling works, isolations, licensed removal and analytical stages.

Waste control

Separate hazardous asbestos waste from general demolition arisings.

Handover

Record completed removal, remaining limitations and soil-related follow-on needs.

Discarded asbestos cement fragments requiring controlled assessment and disposal
Demolition waste must be planned before it is createdEarly identification supports safe segregation, removal sequencing and lawful waste routes.
Redevelopment planning

Particularly relevant to Tees Valley regeneration

Former industrial premises, warehouses, workshops, redundant commercial buildings and brownfield sites may contain multiple ACMs within the structure, plant, services and historical alterations.

  • Full or clearly defined demolition boundary
  • Intrusive inspection of concealed areas
  • Coordination with structural and service information
  • Removal and waste planning before demolition

Prepare the enquiry

Information required before quotation

  • Full address and demolition boundary
  • Plans and structural information

Frequently asked questions

Demolition Survey FAQs

Is a Demolition Asbestos Survey legally required?

A suitable survey is needed before demolition where asbestos may be present so ACMs can be identified and managed before the structure is broken apart.

How intrusive is the survey?

It is normally the most intrusive survey type and aims to inspect all areas within the demolition scope, subject to safety constraints.

Can demolition start immediately after the report?

Not necessarily. Identified ACMs may require removal, waste arrangements, isolation and analytical support first.

Does the survey include asbestos in soil?

A building Demolition Survey does not automatically investigate made ground. Soil risks require a separate scope.

Plan asbestos before demolition mobilisation

Send the demolition drawings, building information, structural constraints, service status and programme.
