Survey scope for occupation and refurbishment

A management survey is generally intended to support normal occupation and maintenance. Refurbishment or demolition work requires investigation focused on the areas that contractors will open, strip, remove or otherwise disturb.

Management survey

For managed buildings, common parts, workplaces and commercial premises that remain in normal use.

Management surveys →

Refurbishment survey

For fit-outs, kitchens, bathrooms, ceilings, services, partitions, floors and structural alterations.

Refurbishment surveys →

Demolition survey

For major strip-out or demolition where concealed materials need to be investigated before work begins.

Westminster property context

Westminster includes Marylebone, Paddington, Pimlico, Bayswater, Maida Vale, St John’s Wood, Soho, Mayfair and Victoria. The borough contains period terraces, mansion blocks, converted buildings, hotels, offices, retail premises and extensively refurbished mixed-use property.

Historic appearance, prestige or recent interior finishes do not confirm whether asbestos is present. Properties constructed or refurbished before 2000 merit particular consideration, and repeated alterations can mean different parts of the same building have very different construction histories.

Useful details before booking

  • Full address, floor and unit details
  • Current use of each area included
  • Approximate construction or major refurbishment dates
  • Drawings or a description of planned works

Frequently asked questions

Does a recent office or hotel fit-out mean older materials can be ignored?

No. New finishes may sit within older walls, ceilings, service risers or structural elements. The survey scope should reflect the parts that will actually be disturbed.

Can one survey cover several commercial units or common parts?

Yes, if those areas are included in the agreed scope and accessible during the inspection. Define each unit, corridor, basement, plant room or service area required.

Can an existing report be reused for a new project?

It may provide useful background, but its inspected areas and limitations should be compared carefully with the proposed works before relying on it.
