Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys For Hotel Projects.
Refurbishment Surveys without disrupting operations.
Our refurbishment and demolition surveys are designed for operational hotels, where downtime isn’t an option. We work discreetly alongside your project teams to identify asbestos risks early, keeping works compliant, safe, and on schedule.
Undiscovered asbestos during a refurbishment can stop a project overnight, risking cost overruns, delays, and reputational damage. That’s why the initial refurbishment survey is so critical.
It’s also the most challenging to deliver. Many UKAS-accredited surveying companies won’t work in operational areas or spaces that return to normal use immediately after inspection. The KV Group specialises in exactly that, conducting compliant, intrusive surveys while your hotel remains fully operational. We plan every detail around occupancy, schedules, and guest flow so your project stays safe and on track from day one.
Our Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys give you the full picture before works begin.

Accurate, Actionable Reporting
We don’t leave you with empty templates or vague assumptions. Every sample, result, and note is reviewed for completeness, giving you the clarity needed to finalise budgets, specifications, and scopes before work begins.

Minimising Operational Disruption
Our surveyors work discreetly and efficiently, scheduling intrusive inspections around service periods and occupancy levels to prevent downtime and maintain smooth site progress.
Delivering the depth of information needed to keep your project compliant, on budget, and free from asbestos-related surprises.
-
Every hotel refurbishment is unique. We start by reviewing your project plans and refurbishment drawings to understand exactly what areas will be affected. From there, we write a clear, compliant survey scope that outlines the access requirements, sampling expectations, and reporting standards, ensuring nothing critical is missed once works begin.
-
We source and brief a UKAS-accredited surveyor with experience in live hotel environments. Our involvement guarantees that the right level of survey is undertaken, intrusive where necessary, but always controlled and considerate of your operational needs.
-
We stay involved through delivery, reviewing findings for completeness and accuracy, assisting with tendering based on the results, and remaining available throughout your project to interpret reports, clarify actions, and support decision making.
What is the cost of a Refurbishment & Demolition survey?
Low Risk Projects from only £985
This applies where the hotel already has an up-to-date Asbestos Management Plan and accurate records of previous surveys. These projects usually involve limited refurbishment, with good access and minimal unknowns.
Medium Risk Projects from £2,250
Will suit hotels with partial or outdated asbestos information. Some areas may have been surveyed before, but further intrusive work is required to verify materials and update records before refurbishment begins.
High Risk Projects start at £3,950
Large or complex refurbishments, or where no reliable asbestos information exists. This includes older or newly acquired sites where ACMs are likely, extensive access is required, and the survey must be staged to maintain hotel operations safely.
