BACKGROUND
Redhills first opened an office in the North of England in 2006. The office was developed in Leeds and due to client base and staff home locations the office was moved to Manchester in 2008. Due to expansion of the client base and workforce and our Manchester Office becoming the regional centre for our other Northern Offices in Newcastle and Scotland in 2011 we moved the office to a larger location with space to set up a laboratory which facilitates further expansion.
In May 2011 we achieved UKAS Accreditation for our bulk analysis laboratory. The office is run by an experienced team and continues to grow, servicing both a mature existing client base and a new developing client base.

In 2010 due to further contract wins and strategic growth plans for the business a new office was opened. Within several months the resources within the office have substantially increased and the client base has grown and matured.

We continue to grow this office and recruit within the Region. The office provides asbestos consultancy services throughout Scotland.

The office facilitates a number of Framework Contracts in a number of sectors including University of Reading, University of Cambridge, Sainsbury’s, Screwfix, Specsavers and Birmingham City Council.

BACKGROUND
Redhills, Wales and Western Office originally opened in Chepstow in 2000. As the resources within the office expanded and the office begun to secure more work there was a need to increase the office size and we moved offices into office accommodation at Conway House.
On 31st October 2006 we gained UKAS accreditation for this office. In 2010 we moved into a larger unit at the same site and a laboratory for the analysis of bulk samples accredited to ISO 17025 was opened with a full time laboratory analyst facilitating sample analysis across Midlands, Wales and the West. The office has a firm client base managing both local and national contracts and offers both planned and reactive works across Wales and the South West of England.
SECTOR – Industrial
SERVICE – Asbestos Assessment
Background
A distribution centre based in the North West of England occupying a former asbestos processing factory. This global distribution company is committed to managing asbestos in its non-domestic properties. Following a review of a third party asbestos survey several areas containing high-risk asbestos containing materials were identified.
The client recognises and is committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees and complying with current UK asbestos regulations. The challenge facing this distributer was to assess the scale and nature of the problem quickly in order to take the appropriate action whilst maintaining a distribution facility working to strict stock movement deadlines.
Project Details
Redhills were employed to carry out an urgent review of all asbestos information pertinent to the sites and make recommendations. A Principal Consultant was able to attend site within a few hours of the initial instruction.
Asbestos Surveys
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 requires a suitable assessment of asbestos to be undertaken that incorporates both identification and assessment.
A key stage in managing asbestos is to identify the location, type, condition and extent of any ACM’s. This can be achieved by carrying out an asbestos survey.
Do I need an Asbestos Survey?
If you are a duty holder with responsibility for buildings constructed pre-2000 you will probably need a Management Survey to assist in the mangement of asbestos (and protection of your employees health).
Or, If you are set to undertake any refurbishment or demolition works, you need to have a Refurbishment and Demolition Survey carried out before works commence.

Why would you need our Analytical Services?
Analytical services can be categorised into two main types;
(i) analysis of bulk samples for asbestos fibres and
(ii) analysis of air samples for measurement of respirable fibres.
These tests can be undertaken to determine if asbestos fibres are present and the concentration of fibres in the air. CAR 2006 requires employers to prevent the exposure of their employees to asbestos

SECTOR – Banking
SERVICE – Asbestos Consultancy Services
Background
As with all retail groups, high street banks have many and varied compliance requirements in relation to asbestos. The Bank have appointed Redhills as their approved asbestos consultant for the past 3 years. This contract encompasses all aspects of asbestos management including Management and Refurbishment / Demolition surveys, annual re-inspections and air monitoring.
The portfolio covered within the remit of the contract includes not only all the high street branches but all commercial office premises and warehousing locations nationwide. The contract also extends to working directly for their sub-contractors for the ongoing branch redevelopment programme.
Project Details
The Bank contract works in two distinct ways. Firstly, operating directly for the Bank to assist their day to day compliance with Regulation 4 “The Duty to Manage” of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2006). This element of the contract involves carrying out planned and programmed Management and Re-inspection surveys across large numbers of branches. These surveys are conducted discreetly during opening hours whilst not disturbing branch operations.
SECTOR – University
SERVICE – Asbestos Management
Background:
Regulation 4 ‘the duty to manage’ is directed at those who manage non-domestic premises: the people with responsibility for protecting others who work in such premises or use them in other ways, from the risk to ill health that exposure to asbestos can cause.
We were employed by the University to undertake asbestos management surveys as part of a stringent tendering process , in order to comply with regulation 4 and their own asbestos management policy. Whilst the University had previously had surveys carried out they felt they weren’t comprehensive and hence put the work out to tender.
Project Details:
The contract period to survey the University portfolio was for 10 calendar weeks to survey some thirty premises.
As part of the tendering process we were also required to provide information in a specific format in order for the data to be uploaded into their Archibus system.

Carnaby Street redevelopment of 1950’s structure to provide new commercial and retail space to prime location.
About the project:
Deconstruct UK Ltd takes on a Carnaby Street project in order to provide new commercial and retail space.
This project on the busy pedestrianised Carnaby Street in London.
This presented numerous logistical issues, not least of all supplying materials to and from site.
The site had suffered bomb damage during WW2 and required extensive underpinning and ‘King Post Walling’ to retain the roadway (Carnaby St). Demolition works adjoined grade two listed structures with temporary support and therefore, had to be very versatile to accommodate the anomalies of structures from this era.
The works had to be coordinated into the bespoke restrictions working on the Carnaby Estate.
The projet challenges:
