Kitchen replacement programmes in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Trades are sequenced by a site supervisor so that strip-out, first fix and second fix follow each other without gaps, which is how a kitchen stays within its planned days.

Which rules apply in Manchester?

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
