Questions from Lower Beeding
Do you cover small places like Lower Beeding?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Lower Beeding from London?
We cover Lower Beeding, about 33 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Which option is right?
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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Clear written quotes
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Houses, flats and business premises
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
What happens next
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.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Common reasons for surveys in Lower Beeding
