Refurbishment and Demolition Survey across Greater Manchester
Victorian terraces, converted cotton mills, 1960s tower blocks and post-war council estates mean asbestos turns up in almost every kind of building across Greater Manchester.
Before any building work that will disturb the fabric of a building, the law requires that asbestos is identified first. A refurbishment and demolition (R&D) survey is fully intrusive: we lift floor coverings, open boxing, drill into walls and look above ceilings in the areas you are working on.
Guide price: Homes from £250 · commercial from £495.
When you need it
- Kitchen, bathroom or loft refits in older homes
- Rewires, new heating systems or boiler moves
