As a busy professional within the Asbestos Industry we regularly find ourselves being the ultimate contortionist, trying to everything to everyone and it’s not very often a client stops and thinks about the effort you put into providing the service you do and actually takes the time to say ‘thank you’ for going above and beyond expectations.

Demolition news podcast – Interview with Spectra Analysis’ Angela Chouaib on changes to UK asbestos regulations.
Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys have been carried out as ‘Type 3’ surveys since the introduction of MDHS 100 in July 2001. This document provided advice and methodology for surveyors engaged in all asbestos survey types. However, the guidance for Type 3 Surveys was nominal which inevitably led to varying degrees of inspection procedures by the surveying companies.
