Asbestos survey in Nutcombe
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Nutcombe. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, flues and floor tiles, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
In a village like Nutcombe, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Nutcombe questions
Do you cover Nutcombe from London?
We cover Nutcombe, about 39 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you cover Nutcombe?
Yes, Nutcombe is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Nutcombe?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Common reasons for surveys in Nutcombe
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
If you let flats or houses near Haslemere station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope, in writing
- How many samples are included
- Whether VAT is included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies

The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Ensure we can get to the area

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Nutcombe were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
