Planning Renovation or Refurbishment Work?

If your property was built or significantly refurbished before 2000, asbestos-containing materials may be present in areas that will be disturbed during building work. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, a refurbishment and demolition survey is required before work begins in these areas.

Common renovation scenarios where asbestos is found include:

Kitchen or bathroom refits in pre-2000 properties
Removing or skimming textured ceiling coatings
Replacing old floor tiles or sheet vinyl
Stripping out insulation, soffits, or fascias
Rewiring or replumbing through walls and ceilings
Loft conversions in older houses
Garage or outbuilding demolition
Window replacement in cement-clad buildings

A survey before work begins identifies what is present and allows your contractor to work safely. It also protects you from the legal and financial consequences of accidental asbestos disturbance — including HSE enforcement, site shutdowns, and decontamination costs.
