About our asbestos survey in Nash
Our surveys in Nash cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and water tanks, and people typically contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies.
Village properties around Nash often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

- Location, parking and any London charges

The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Common questions in Nash
Do you cover small places like Nash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Nash and the area around Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes, we cover Nash and the area towards Milton Keynes Central station, about 4.5 miles north-east.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.

- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
