Asbestos Management Surveys in Cambridge
Management surveys identify the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in occupied buildings. Required for ongoing compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, these surveys form the basis of your asbestos management plan.
Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys in Cambridge
Periodic re-inspections assess the condition of known ACMs to ensure continued safe management. Typically conducted annually or as specified in your management plan, re-inspections maintain compliance and identify any changes requiring action.
Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys in Cambridge
R&D surveys are required before intrusive refurbishment or demolition work under CAR 2012. These fully intrusive surveys identify all ACMs in areas affected by planned works, enabling safe removal and compliance with HSE requirements.

Asbestos Compliance Context in Cambridge
Cambridge's unique combination of historic university buildings and modern technology infrastructure creates distinctive asbestos management challenges. Many university college buildings, while centuries old in their original construction, were extended and modified during the 20th century using asbestos-containing materials. The science parks, including Cambridge Science Park, Granta Park, and the Biomedical Campus, contain commercial and laboratory buildings from the 1980s and 1990s that may contain asbestos. The ongoing expansion of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, developments around the station area, and continued growth of the technology sector drive demand for R&D surveys. Cambridge's residential stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Romsey Town and Mill Road, inter-war housing in Chesterton and Cherry Hinton, and post-war estates in Arbury, Kings Hedges, and the newer developments in Trumpington and Clay Farm. Housing associations, private landlords, and college-managed accommodation all carry asbestos management duties. Cambridge University Hospitals, Anglia Ruskin University, and the city's schools estate add to ongoing survey requirements. The wider Cambridgeshire area, including Ely, Huntingdon, and St Neots, extends geographic coverage for multi-site programmes.
