About our asbestos survey in Netley
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and demolition projects, including textured ceilings, soffits and pipe lagging.
A survey in Netley typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Netley buildings and asbestos surveys
Netley is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Wherever your property is in Netley, tell us the postcode and what you need. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you’re a landlord near Netley station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. If you have an older property in Netley, near Church of St Edward the Confessor or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 7 miles of Netley, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey. Netley is within about 2 miles of the coast, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.

Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Netley were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Domestic and commercial work
See how we quote and the cost guide.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote

After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Netley questions
Do you cover Netley from London?
We cover Netley, about 69 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Netley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Netley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, 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. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What affects the price in Netley
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
