We will tell you which suits your plans in Bedgebury Cross. From demolition and strip-out and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with flues, water tanks and soffits and more.

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.
FAQs for Bedgebury Cross
Do you cover small places like Bedgebury Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What we deal with in Bedgebury Cross
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats

Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

- The type of survey you need
- How many outbuildings are included

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
