About our asbestos survey in South Nutfield
Planning building work in South Nutfield? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Common materials are soffits, garage roofs and floor tiles, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Village surveys around South Nutfield can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in South Nutfield were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Domestic and commercial work

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
What affects the price in South Nutfield
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- The size and age of the building
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
South Nutfield questions
Do you work near Nutfield station?
Yes, we cover South Nutfield, including the streets around Nutfield station.
Is asbestos common in South Nutfield homes?
Any home in South Nutfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you survey commercial buildings in South Nutfield?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
