About our asbestos survey in Beal's Green
Before you buy, build or let in Beal's Green, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are pipe lagging, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and surveys requested by builders before work.
Village surveys around Beal's Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What it costs

Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- The access route

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Helpful guides
Beal's Green: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Etchingham station?
Yes. Etchingham station is about 4.4 miles south-west of Beal's Green, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Common reasons for surveys in Beal's Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

What to look for in a quote
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Records for your files
- Clear written quotes
See our prices page or our cost guide.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
