About our asbestos survey in Nuthurst
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Nuthurst, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and planned refurbishment work, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.
Village surveys around Nuthurst can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Nuthurst
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Nuthurst:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Community buildings and halls
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Non-domestic buildings, St Andrew's CofE Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
After we have finished in Nuthurst
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

What affects the price in Nuthurst
The cost depends on:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- An overall view
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Step by step
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. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Options to consider in Nuthurst
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
