About our asbestos survey in New Pound
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in New Pound must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. We often deal with pipe lagging, soffits and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village surveys around New Pound can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in New Pound
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes between tenancies
Non-domestic buildings, Mereworth Community Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is normally where that starts.

What else we do in New Pound

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common questions in New Pound
Do you survey schools and community buildings around New Pound?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover New Pound and the area around Wateringbury station?
Yes. Wateringbury station is about 2.8 miles south-east of New Pound, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
