An asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey is required before any major building works are carried out. Under UK regulations, duty holders must identify all asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the project to ensure safety and compliance.
You will typically need an asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey if you are:
  • A property owner planning refurbishment or structural alterations
  • A landlord upgrading or redeveloping a property
  • A contractor carrying out building or demolition works
  • A developer preparing a site for renovation or demolition
  • A facilities manager overseeing major upgrade projects
  • A commercial business undertaking internal or external works
  • A public sector organisation (schools, hospitals, local authorities) planning refurbishment
If your project involves refurbishment or demolition, this type of survey is legally required and must be completed before any work begins.
An asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey is necessary before any major building work takes place that could disturb the fabric of a property.
It is typically required when:
  • The building is due to be refurbished or renovated
  • Structural alterations or internal strip-out works are planned
  • A property is being partially or fully demolished
  • Walls, floors, ceilings, or fixed structures will be disturbed
  • Electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems are being extensively removed or replaced
  • The site is being prepared for redevelopment or major construction
👉 This type of survey is legally required before any of these works begin, as it identifies all asbestos-containing materials that could be affected during the project.
At Walther Group, we provide professional asbestos refurbishment and demolition surveys across the UK, ensuring your project is safe and fully compliant before any major works begin.
Our qualified surveyors carry out a fully intrusive inspection of the property, identifying all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition. Where necessary, we safely take samples and arrange accredited laboratory analysis to confirm findings.
We assess the location, condition, and extent of any asbestos present and produce a detailed, compliant report to support safe planning and execution of works. This includes clear findings and practical recommendations to guide contractors and duty holders.
From initial inspection through to final reporting, we deliver a thorough and reliable service designed to ensure asbestos risks are identified and managed before construction, refurbishment, or demolition begins.
I contacted this company for some information about a garage. The response was very quick and very helpful. I was offered a sample test the next day and I should get the results soon. I have also received a quote for the removal of the garage. So organised. I'm happy to use this company.

Gavin and David handled the removal of asbestos from my property. They were both very professional, courteous, there was a quick turnaround and the pricing was very reasonable for the work that was done - I would highly recommend their services to anyone in the Essex area or further a field. Thank you both for your excellent service 👍
