Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bepton
Do older homes in Bepton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bepton from London?
Bepton is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a survey needed before building work in Bepton?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Common reasons for surveys in Bepton
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Planning work on an older building in Bepton, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Some practical advice:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
