Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
South Nutfield: your questions answered
How far is South Nutfield from London?
We cover South Nutfield, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
