Asbestos Survey in Nottingham: Protect Your Property Today
At Surveys 4 Asbestos, we provide reliable and professional asbestos surveys in Nottingham and across the East Midlands. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, contractor, or property manager, our expert team is here to help you identify any potential asbestos risks in your property and provide clear, actionable advice.
If your property was built before 2000, there's a possibility it contains asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These materials can pose serious health risks when disturbed, making it crucial to have a professional survey before any renovation, demolition, or construction work.
Why Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?
An Asbestos Survey is essential to identify any hidden asbestos in your property and assess the associated risks. Asbestos is commonly found in older buildings and can be present in materials such as:
- Ceiling tiles (Artex)
- Insulation boards
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Roofing materials
- Pipe insulation
✅ Key Reasons for an Asbestos Survey:
- Health and Safety: Asbestos can cause severe health issues, including lung cancer and asbestosis, if inhaled.
- Legal Compliance: Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, building owners and employers are legally required to manage asbestos risks in non-domestic properties.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing where asbestos is located gives you the information to safely manage it or remove it, if necessary.

CASE STUDY : Asbestos Refurbishment Survey | Dental Practice in Nottingham
Background:
Mr Khan purchased this derelict dental practice with the intention of having it refurbished and opening up his own business in dental surgery.
The property was built before 1999 , therefore the contractors who were brought in to refurbish the building advised an Asbestos Survey should be completed first before work started.
How our professional service helped:
We had a discussion with Mr Khan about what work was being carried out , where the property was and the timescales he was working to. A plan was put into place to carry out an Asbestos Refurbishment Survey on the building.
During the survey our experienced surveyors noticed areas which they highly suspected to be asbestos containing materials. These areas included the textured coating on the ceilings and vinyl flooring under carpets.
As suspected , both materials were confirmed as containing Chrysotile (White) Asbestos fibres.
This information , along with recommendations were provided within the asbestos report to Mr Khan.
Conclusion:
Mr Khan was able to get the asbestos removed before refurbishments took place. By having the survey carried out , this prevented exposure to unknowing contractors working on the building and also prevented delays in work being completed.
