Asbestos survey for Newfound properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about public and community buildings and shops, offices and industrial units, involving flues, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In a village like Newfound, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Newfound, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- How much there is
- Which survey type fits your plans
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we will reply with a quote.
After we’ve finished in Newfound
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Common questions in Newfound
Is asbestos common in Newfound homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Basingstoke station?
Yes, we cover Newfound and the area towards Basingstoke station, about 3.5 miles east.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Newfound?
Yes, we do: our area includes Newfound and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
