Asbestos survey for Nash
Asbestos survey in Nash
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Nash, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and people usually contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and rented homes between tenancies.
In a village like Nash, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical surveys in Nash
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Travel and parking
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Some practical advice:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
