About our asbestos survey in Newingreen
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Newingreen, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are floor tiles, flues and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and workplaces built before 2000.
Around a village like Newingreen, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Asbestos surveys in Newingreen: local notes

Newingreen is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
A school such as Lympne Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Across London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Newingreen
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Newingreen must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Typical jobs in Newingreen include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you have an older property in Newingreen, near Pedlinge Chapel or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The number of samples
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

- The type of material and its condition

Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Newingreen questions
How far is Newingreen from London?
Newingreen is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Newingreen contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newingreen can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in Newingreen?
Yes. We cover Newingreen and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Newingreen?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
