Asbestos survey in Newyears Green
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels

About our asbestos survey in Newyears Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Newyears Green, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. From kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and flues.
Around a village like Newyears Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Newyears Green
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear the way to the work area
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Newyears Green questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Newyears Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Newyears Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a survey needed before building work in Newyears Green?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Duty holders and landlords in Newyears Green
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Why people call us in Newyears Green
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For a school like Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- The number of samples
- The report contents
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of materials to sample
- How many outbuildings are included
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
