About Caswell Group
About us
The Caswell Group survey department have an established and committed team, specialising in undertaking individual sampling through to management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.
The Caswell Group prides itself on working in conjunction with clients and contractors, to provide a precise and professional service to ensure the smooth running of contracts within such areas as demolition, the maintenance and refurbishment programmes of housing stock and the provision of annual re-inspection surveys for existing and ongoing portfolios. Due to this The Caswell Group have established a strong and trusting relationship with various councils and contractors.
In the 20 years we have been trading we have been trusted with working on projects for local authorities, hospital trusts, small to major construction companies, architects, refurbishment companies, shop fitters and high profile commercial organisations.
Our network of six UK offices enables us to provide a excellent level of service nationwide, this ensures our clients receive first class project management, site reports and client liaison wherever the project may be, this is also backed up by our emergency call out services available 24 hours a day.
Our quality of work combined with our ability to consistently deliver a specialised service to the highest standard on time, within budget and in a safe and controlled manner are just some of the reasons why we have been successful in winning new and repeat business.
Surveys & Consultancy
February 2010 saw the replacement of MDHS 100 Surveying, Sampling and Assessment of asbestos containing materials with HSG 264. There are now two types of asbestos surveys and our staff will advise on the type you need to meet your legal requirements and to establish a safe environment.
Management Surveys
A management survey is the standard survey. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition.
Management surveys will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance. The extent of intrusion will vary between premises and depend on what is reasonably practicable for individual properties, i.e. it will depend on factors such as the type of building, the nature of construction, accessibility etc. A management survey should include an assessment of the condition of the various ACMs and their ability to release fibres into the air if they are disturbed in some way. This material assessment will give a good initial guide to the priority for managing ACMs, as it will identify the materials, which will most readily release airborne fibres if they are disturbed. The survey will usually involve sampling and analysis to confirm the presence or absence of ACMs.
Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys:
A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. A refurbishment and demolition survey may also be required in other circumstances, e.g. when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for plant removal or dismantling.
There is a specific requirement in CAR 2006 (regulation 7) for all ACMs to be removed as far as reasonably practicable before major refurbishment or final demolition. Removing ACMs is also appropriate in other smaller refurbishment situations, which involve structural or layout changes to buildings (e.g. removal of partitions, walls, units etc). Under CDM, the survey information should be used to help in the tendering process for removal of ACMs from the building before work starts. The survey report should be supplied by the client to designers and contractors who may be bidding for the work, so that the asbestos risks can be addressed.
Asbestos Sampling
If you suspect any asbestos containing materials in your premises, we can provide a quick and efficient sampling programme which includes sampling and analysis of the material. All our samples are analysed by a UKAS Accredited Laboratory.
