Typical surveys in Newbridge
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Public and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Ashurst New Forest station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What your quote should include

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for Newbridge
Do older homes in Newbridge have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Newbridge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
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.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Newbridge?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
