About our asbestos survey in Newnham
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Newnham, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving garage roofs, pipe lagging and flues.
Rural homes near Newnham have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Places near Newnham
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Newnham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we’ve finished in Newnham
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
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. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.

Helpful guides
Typical surveys in Newnham
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Planned refurbishment work
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you have an older property in Newnham, near Church of St. Nicholas or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What the report or result will contain
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Questions from Newnham
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes, we cover Newnham and the area towards Hook station, about 1.2 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Newnham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newnham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
- The number of materials to sample
- Which survey type fits your plans
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
