Asbestos survey for Newell Green
Asbestos survey for Newell Green properties
If a building in Newell Green dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical materials include pipe lagging, flues and soffits, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and demolition projects.
In a village like Newell Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Choosing the right option
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. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- The right survey for your plans

Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
After we’ve finished in Newell Green
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Newell Green questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Newell Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Newell Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
Typical surveys in Newell Green
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
