Asbestos survey near Newchurch
Asbestos survey near Newchurch
Any building in Newchurch built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical materials include water tanks, flues and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about public and community buildings and demolition projects.
Village surveys around Newchurch can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Newchurch
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Newchurch, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in Newchurch were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Why people call us in Newchurch
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you manage lettings around Sandown station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Common questions in Newchurch
Do you cover Newchurch and the area around Sandown station?
Yes, we cover Newchurch and the area towards Sandown station, about 2.1 miles east.
Do older homes in Newchurch have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Newchurch may have 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, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- Practical recommendations
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
