Your questions about an asbestos survey in Nutbourne
How far is Nutbourne from London?
Nutbourne is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 2 miles west of Nutbourne, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
