Asbestos survey for Ningwood properties
The type of survey you need in Ningwood depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Typical materials include textured ceilings, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people typically contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In a village like Ningwood, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Ningwood questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Ningwood?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Ningwood have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ningwood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
Planning work on an older building in Ningwood, whether near Church of St. Michael the Archangel or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Before booking anyone
- Areas included and excluded
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How many samples are included
- What the report or result will contain
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Access to the area
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A picture of the whole area
- A clear close-up
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Soffits and porch canopies

Landlords, managing agents and employers
