How asbestos survey works in Newton Valence
Any building in Newton Valence built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover soffits, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Newton Valence have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Newton Valence
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Newton Valence?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How it works
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging

For managing agents and freeholders in Newton Valence, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Typical surveys in Newton Valence
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition and strip-out
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
For rented homes close to Alton station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- VAT, clearly stated
- The report contents
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
