What this work involves
Do not disturb suspect material. Establish the survey, notifications and qualified contractors required for the particular situation.
- Survey report
- Scope and qualified contractor
- Clearance and subsequent scheduling
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Include material samples and edge details in the design decision.
What the drawing needs to explain
Detail the lower edge and the junction with another material. Show where water can drain and how an element can be replaced without opening the entire finish.
Decide this before construction
Select the material early enough to design edges and fixings around it. Review a sample in its intended location before placing the full order.
Compare the complete intervention
Compare purchase and recurring maintenance costs. Ask about preparation, fixings and access; the material price per square metre alone gives insufficient guidance.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on investigation, material type, access and removal scope. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for asbestos surveys & removal planning. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging asbestos surveys & removal planning?
The required process depends on materials and work. No in-house asbestos certification is claimed; the appointed specialist must be confirmed beforehand.
