This is a more in-depth survey due to the fabric of the building being disturbed during renovation or demolition. Intrusive methods are used in order to assist detection of asbestos situated inside structural components. This method is intrinsically more hazardous and will involve isolation of all services in the areas. The buildings must be unoccupied if a full Refurbishment or Demolition Survey is to be carried out. The client must be aware that this type of survey will involve the disruption to surface and building components.

Sampling of ‘suspicious’ materials that are suspected of being hazardous, can also be undertaken rather than a full survey being carried out. Hough & Co. will undertake a sampling process solely on the suspect area/s identified by the client.
