How asbestos survey works in Ninfield
Before you buy, build or let in Ninfield, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, including boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Ninfield, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Common questions in Ninfield
Do older homes in Ninfield have asbestos?
Any home in Ninfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ninfield and the area around Crowhurst station?
Yes, we cover Ninfield and the area towards Crowhurst station, about 3.5 miles east.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What happens
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ninfield, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Why people call us in Ninfield

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Workplaces built before 2000

- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
