How asbestos survey works in Bells Yew Green
If a building in Bells Yew Green dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From checks on rental property and shops, offices and industrial units, we deal with soffits, flues and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Bells Yew Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000
For rented homes close to Frant station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Choosing the right option
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work.

Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Practical recommendations
- Clear advice on your options
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials

- Artex and textured coatings

FAQs for Bells Yew Green
Do you work near Frant station?
Yes. Frant station is close to the centre of Bells Yew Green, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Bells Yew Green homes?
If your home in Bells Yew Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
