Asbestos Surveys in Beckley, East Sussex

Typical surveys in Beckley

Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

• Buying a property built before 2000
• Pre-work surveys for trades
• Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
• Rented homes due for maintenance

Schools such as Beckley Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What happens

A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.

1. Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
2. We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
3. On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
4. Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
5. The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear

Before we arrive

• Have any previous surveys or test results ready
• Tell us about anything that is already damaged
• Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

How we price an asbestos survey

Prices vary with:

• The survey type
• The quantity or area
• Access: height, lofts, steps and space
• Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Helping us quote

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

• A close-up from a safe distance
• Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
• A rough size or measurement
• How we’d reach it

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll advise.

What we do and don’t cover

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:

• The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
• Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
• The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
