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 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.
SECTOR - Banking
SERVICE – Asbestos Consultancy Services
Background

This contract encompasses all aspects of asbestos management including Management and Refurbishment / Demolition surveys, annual re-inspections and air monitoring. The portiolio covered within the remit of the contract includes not only all the high street branches but all commercial office premises and warehousing locations nationwide.

Project Details

Firstly, operating directly for the Bank to assist their day to day compliance with Regularion 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-inspecrion surveys across large numbers of branches.

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.
