How do we deliver it?

We sequence the trades so the slow items (certificates, any asbestos work, kitchens) start first, and decoration and cleaning finish last. That is usually where days are won or lost.

Which rules apply in Wiltshire?

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. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.
