Asbestos survey in Nuneham Courtenay
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. From purchases of older homes and buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and water tanks and more.
Village houses like those in Nuneham Courtenay have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Good to know

- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Questions from Nuneham Courtenay
Do you cover Nuneham Courtenay from London?
We cover Nuneham Courtenay, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Nuneham Courtenay?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
After the job
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.
To avoid problems in future:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
