Asbestos survey for Newington Green
Asbestos survey near Newington Green
Any building in Newington Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical materials include floor tiles, soffits and flues, and typical jobs are shops, offices and industrial units and checks on rental property.
Properties in areas like Newington Green have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- The type of survey you need
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Duty holders and landlords in Newington Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Newington Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Newington Green questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Newington Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Newington Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Newington Green?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
