About our asbestos survey in Nursted

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Nursted
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Nursted, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
