About our asbestos survey in Nash
About to refurbish in Nash? 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. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including flues, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging.
Before work on a flat or house in Nash, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once we’re done:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

Nash questions
Do you work in Nash despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Nash?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Options to consider in Nash
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
