When a demolition survey is required

A Demolition Survey is required before:

  • Full building demolition
  • Partial demolition projects
  • Major structural removal works
  • Redevelopment involving structural removal

The survey must be completed before demolition works begin to ensure asbestos can be safely removed in advance.

Fully intrusive and comprehensive inspection

Demolition surveys involve extensive intrusive inspection to locate ACMs throughout the building structure. This may include:

  • Breaking into floors, ceilings, and walls
  • Accessing structural elements
  • Inspecting plant rooms and service areas
  • Entering all reasonably accessible voids

These surveys are typically undertaken in vacant buildings scheduled for demolition.

Supporting safe demolition and regulatory compliance

A suitable demolition survey supports safe project delivery by:

  • Ensuring ACMs are identified prior to demolition
  • Supporting asbestos removal specifications
  • Preventing uncontrolled asbestos release
  • Supporting waste classification requirements
  • Demonstrating regulatory compliance

The survey must be completed before demolition works begin to ensure asbestos can be safely removed in advance.

    Supporting Social Housing

    Liaising with residents from all backgrounds requires sensitivity and expert communication, and careful planning is essential to ensure minimal disruption in tenants’ homes. In social housing, landlords are responsible for large volumes of property where budgets are tight, so cost control and certainty are key. Works carried out under the Decent Homes programme, such as kitchen and bathroom replacements, demand clear communication and planning between the client, contractor, and tenant, while the fact that work often takes place in the homes of vulnerable people makes pre-booking and precise scheduling vital.
