Asbestos survey for Newland Green
How asbestos survey works in Newland Green
About to refurbish in Newland Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Common materials are textured ceilings, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about community buildings and halls and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village surveys around Newland Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Duty holders and landlords in Newland Green
If your business premises in Newland Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

FAQs for Newland Green
Is asbestos common in Newland Green homes?
If your home in Newland Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Newland Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
