What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Asbestos survey for Netherfield properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Netherfield as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Village properties around Netherfield often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- How big the building is
- How easy it is to reach
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
Each job is priced individually. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we are done:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Common questions in Netherfield
Could my house in Netherfield contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Netherfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Netherfield?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Is a survey needed before building work in Netherfield?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Common reasons for surveys in Netherfield
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Schools such as Netherfield CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- The report contents
- Whether VAT is included
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
