Asbestos survey near Nettlestone
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Nettlestone. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with flues, textured ceilings and water tanks.
Village properties around Nettlestone 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.

What we deal with in Nettlestone
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
A school such as Nettlestone Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
Options to consider in Nettlestone
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear advice on your options

Nettlestone questions
Do older homes in Nettlestone have asbestos?
If your home in Nettlestone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Nettlestone and the area around Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Nettlestone and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.8 miles west.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a survey needed before building work in Nettlestone?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

After we’ve finished in Nettlestone
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
