Asbestos survey in Newbury's
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
About our asbestos survey in Newbury's
Before you buy, build or let in Newbury's, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. From purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition projects, we deal with water tanks, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village properties around Newbury's often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common questions in Newbury's
Do you cover small places like Newbury's?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Newbury's contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Newbury's may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do you cover Newbury's?
Yes, we do: our area includes Newbury's and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Surveying buildings in Newbury's
Newbury's is about 5 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Newbury's is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in 289 places across East Sussex. We work right across the region, from Newbury's to Crawley (24 miles away).
If you have an older property in Newbury's, near Rehoboth Chapel or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts. If you are a landlord near Wadhurst station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. Newbury's is within about 2 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Common reasons for surveys in Newbury's
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Non-domestic buildings, Uplands Community College among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- The number of samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Across London and the South East
- Every main survey type
- Houses, flats and business premises

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Soffits and porch canopies

- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Before we arrive

Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
