About our asbestos removal in Nutfield
If your builder has found suspect material in Nutfield, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and garage roof sheets.
In Nutfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in Nutfield were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Nutfield: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Nutfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Nutfield station?
Yes. Nutfield station is about 0.9 miles south of Nutfield, and we cover both.
Do you cover Nutfield?
Yes. We cover Nutfield and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Nutfield?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate

Common reasons for removal jobs in Nutfield
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Nutfield:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex before plastering
If you let property near Nutfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- What isn’t included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The method and controls
- Whether VAT is included
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
