How asbestos survey works in Bodle Street Green
About to refurbish in Bodle Street Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and public and community buildings, we cover garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village properties around Bodle Street Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How easy it is to reach
- How big the building is
- The survey scope
- The type of survey you need
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

After we’ve finished in Bodle Street Green
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Going forward:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles

Questions from Bodle Street Green
How far is Bodle Street Green from London?
Bodle Street Green is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
