Asbestos survey in Nettlestead Green
Asbestos survey for Nettlestead Green properties
Any building in Nettlestead Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and demolition and strip-out, including boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and flues.
Around a village like Nettlestead Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Nettlestead Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Nettlestead Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Nettlestead Green from London?
Nettlestead Green is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How we work
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear advice on your options
- Across London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Take a look at our prices page and published price ranges.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
