REFURBISHMENT & DEMOLITION SURVEYS
IMPORTANT: It is a legal requirement to conduct a refurbishment & demolition asbestos survey on all buildings constructed pre-2000 before any type of demolition or refurbishment work is carried out.
Anyone who is involved in building maintenance, refurbishment or demolition could be at risk if they disturb asbestos, including its removal, drilling, sanding or cutting. It’s found in many of the common materials used in building—over 3,600 products are listed. Some of these are:
- Loose asbestos in ceiling or floor cavity
- Lagging of water pipes and tanks
- Asbestos cement products like corrugated roof panels
- Sprayed coatings
- Roofing felt
- Thermal and acoustic insulation
- Fire protection on doors
- Floor tiles
- Rope seals and gaskets
Responsibility to manage risks is outlined in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), which we strictly observe. This ensures that any asbestos present is located and identified, then managed properly to prevent possible exposure.
We have a team of experienced surveyors, highly qualified to at least BOHS P402 certificate level. Our sampling services are carried out to be compliant with HSG264 and HSG248, in laboratories accredited to UKAS ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.
ASBESTOS REMOVALS
BibbEgan Provides a specialist service in stripping out and de-rating buildings, where organisation and precision works are essential. We focus on work in London and the Home Counties, but can supply services further afield on request.
Ever-changing regulations determining business rates make full decommissioning of buildings a viable option for landlords when the rental market nosedives. It can be a costly exercise to leave an existing structure empty. When all the non-structural elements are removed, making a building unusable, it can be zero-rated. In this uncertain economic climate, there is considerable demand for our services.
In the first instance, we provide a site waste management plan and, on completion, a comprehensive report, detailing the waste removed, its destinations and how much is recycled. We aim to recycle over 95% of all waste removed from every strip-out project.
Our team has experienced project coordinators and manager plus over 20 site supervisors to offer a complete solution for your strip-out requirements, either as part of a major building refurbishment programme or de-rating of a building. We offer pre-works site surveys, isolations, diversions, and disconnection and removal of utilities (gas, electricity, water and telecommunications). Our interior stripping activities include the removal of:
- All floor coverings
- Computer floors
- Non-load bearing partitions
- Suspended Ceilings
- Render and Plaster removal
- Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) systems including lighting, cables, cable trays, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (including de-gassing)
- Lift removal
