Asbestos survey near Nyton
Asbestos survey near Nyton
For landlords and managing agents in Nyton, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. We often deal with pipe lagging, textured ceilings and soffits, and people normally contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and public and community buildings.
Around a village like Nyton, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Why people call us in Nyton
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
For rented homes close to Barnham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Nyton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Nyton
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes, we cover Nyton and the area towards Barnham station, about 1.6 miles south-east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Nyton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
