We Discovered Asbestos Mid-Renovation — What Now?

Imagine this: you’re halfway through stripping back an old property ready for conversion, and your contractor uncovers suspicious insulation around the boiler or textured coatings on the ceilings. Panic sets in — could it be asbestos?

For developers and property investors, finding asbestos during renovation work is not just inconvenient; it’s a legal and safety minefield. Work must stop immediately, the area isolated, and the material tested by a professional. Continuing work could expose workers to harmful fibres and open the door to prosecution.

That’s why an asbestos survey should never be an afterthought. At EnviroSolution, we help developers identify, manage and safely remove asbestos from all types of buildings before it becomes a risk. Our fully accredited asbestos surveys provide you with a clear, actionable report — so you can proceed with confidence.

We offer both:

• Management Surveys for general occupancy and duty of care
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys before any intrusive or structural work

If you’re planning any renovation on a building constructed before 2000, an asbestos survey is not just good practice — it’s a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Why trust EnviroSolution?

• UKAS-accredited surveyors with fast response times
• Comprehensive reporting and lab testing
• Guidance on remediation and licensed removal

Don’t let unexpected discoveries bring your project to a halt. Book an asbestos survey before you strip anything back, and protect your team, your investment, and your compliance record.
