Asbestos survey in Nutbourne
About our asbestos survey in Nutbourne
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Nutbourne, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving water tanks, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Nutbourne have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging

- Water tanks and flues
Nutbourne: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Nutbourne?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you come out to small villages like Nutbourne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Nutbourne?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- How big the building is
- The number of materials to sample
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
