Asbestos survey for Bevendean
Asbestos survey for Bevendean properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Bevendean must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Whether it’s checks on rental property and demolition projects, we cover soffits, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels and more.
A survey in Bevendean typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Bevendean: your questions answered
Do you work near Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, we cover Bevendean and the area towards Moulsecoomb station, about 0.8 miles north-west.
Do you cover Bevendean from London?
Bevendean is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a survey needed before building work in Bevendean?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Bevendean?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Bevendean, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.

What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size of the job
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The survey scope
- The number of materials to sample
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After the job
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.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
