Refurbishment Survey — Barkers of Kensington (Grade II Listed)
Project Overview
Clearscan Environmental has supported refurbishment works at the Grade II listed Barkers of Kensington building through the completion of an asbestos refurbishment survey. Buildings of this age, status and complexity often contain legacy materials associated with multiple historic alterations and previous fit-outs. The survey focused on identifying asbestos-containing materials within areas likely to be affected by the proposed works, providing clear, reliable information to support safe planning and regulatory compliance. Clearscan continues to support refurbishment, redevelopment and asset management projects across the UK with practical surveys, proportionate advice and clear reporting aligned with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
