CEG – Commercial Property Refurbishment, Liverpool

RB Asbestos has worked with CEG (Commercial Estates Group), a major commercial property company responsible for the management and refurbishment of buildings across the UK.

One of our recent projects involved a substantial city-centre property in Liverpool, which was being refurbished for use as modern office accommodation.

Establishing Accurate Asbestos Information

The building had undergone several redevelopment and refurbishment programmes over the years, leaving behind incomplete and sometimes inconsistent asbestos management information.

Before renovation work could begin, it was important to establish a clear and accurate understanding of the asbestos-containing materials that could be present within the property.

RB Asbestos reviewed the existing information and used it as a starting point for a systematic investigation of the building. Areas were inspected and discrepancies within the existing asbestos records were identified and addressed.

As the planned works involved significant alterations to the building, refurbishment and demolition surveys were also undertaken to provide more detailed information about areas that could potentially be disturbed during the renovation.

Supporting a Safe and Efficient Refurbishment

By combining detailed surveying with a thorough review of the existing asbestos information, RB Asbestos helped provide CEG and the project team with the information they needed to plan the refurbishment with greater confidence.

Our close working relationship with the client, combined with a methodical approach to the survey work, helped ensure that asbestos considerations were properly addressed throughout the project while keeping disruption to the occupied building to a minimum.

The project demonstrates the importance of obtaining accurate asbestos information when refurbishing older commercial properties, particularly buildings that have undergone multiple alterations over their lifetime.
