Asbestos survey in Niton
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos survey in Niton
Plenty of older buildings, in Niton as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, involving textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
Village properties around Niton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

FAQs for Niton
Could my house in Niton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Niton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For businesses and landlords in Niton
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Niton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Helpful guides
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
