DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos survey for Norton Green properties
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Norton Green, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical materials include water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and flues, and people usually contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Around a village like Norton Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Typical surveys in Norton Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Checks on rental property
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Non-domestic buildings, All Saints Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
What affects the price in Norton Green

FAQs for Norton Green
Is asbestos common in Norton Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Norton Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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.
