With almost 40 years of experience working within live industrial environments, our team understands the defects and site conditions that commonly affect temperature-controlled, food-grade and high-use facilities. This experience helps clients plan decommissioning works with a clear view of building condition, safety risks, access requirements and practical site constraints.

Our surveys can assess key building elements, including structural components, external envelope systems, internal finishes and service-related interfaces. This may include inspection of walls, floors, roofs, drainage systems, hygienic finishes, movement joints, service penetrations, loading areas and other details that can affect safe decommissioning activity.

The process can help identify deterioration, water ingress, impact damage, thermal performance issues, fabric failure, structural movement and areas where further investigation may be required before physical works begin.

Building surveys are particularly useful where facilities contain redundant production areas, cold rooms, insulated panel systems, mezzanines, plant platforms, legacy services, damaged finishes or areas affected by repeated operational use. Early assessment helps reduce uncertainty and supports safer sequencing of strip-out, dismantling and removal works.
