Asbestos testing for Newfound properties
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Newfound? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical jobs include lab results for contractors before they start and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, including garage roof sheets, panels behind heaters and soffit boards.
Village homes in areas like Newfound often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
Nearby places to Newfound
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Newfound, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common questions in Newfound
Do you cover Newfound and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 3.5 miles east of Newfound, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Newfound?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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 should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Do you work in Newfound?
Yes, we do: Newfound is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What we deal with in Newfound
Many trades won’t touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Tiles found under carpet
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
If you let flats near Basingstoke station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos

Your options compared
You can buy home testing kits, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear advice on your options
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Doing it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
