About our asbestos survey in Nutfield
Planning building work in Nutfield? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we cover pipe lagging, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In a village like Nutfield, 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. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
How we work in Nutfield
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Nutfield questions
Do you cover Nutfield from London?
We cover Nutfield, about 18 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Nutfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Nutfield
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we deal with in Nutfield
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are some of the things we deal with in Nutfield:
- Demolition projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Schools such as Nutfield Church CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
