How asbestos survey works in Bewbush
Planning building work in Bewbush? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and people normally contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and surveys requested by builders before work.
In towns and villages like Bewbush, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Options to consider in Bewbush
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
If you let flats or houses near Ifield station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- 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
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Bewbush questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Bewbush?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.

What if the weather’s bad?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
