This table is a routing aid, not a substitute for a competent person agreeing the scope. A purchase, lease or contractor request may involve more than one document depending on future work.
Describe the decision, not just the title
Tell us who requested the evidence, what will happen next and which areas or materials are involved.
Common selection mistakes
- Using one negative sample result as evidence for a whole building
- Using a management survey to clear intrusive refurbishment
- Treating a survey as post-removal clearance
- Assuming a certificate for reoccupation covers unrelated areas
- Relying on an old report without checking changes and limitations

Frequently asked questions
What do I need before refurbishment?
A refurbishment survey defined around the exact areas and building fabric the work will disturb.
What do I need after licensed removal?
Depending on the work, four-stage clearance and a certificate for reoccupation may be required for the defined enclosure.
What if I only need one material tested?
Controlled sampling and a traceable bulk-analysis result may answer that narrow question.
What if I am still unsure?
Submit the property, intended work and wording used by the person requesting the evidence so the enquiry can be routed.
