How asbestos survey works in the Isle of Wight

If you are buying a home or building in the Isle of Wight from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and planned refurbishment work, including boiler cupboard panels, soffits and garage roofs.

We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report.

Asbestos surveys across the Isle of Wight

Surveys across the Isle of Wight are for homes before renovation, rented property, workplaces and buildings due for demolition, in Newport, Ryde and Cowes and in the 102 smaller villages and hamlets. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Newport: Altering an older house in Newport, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. A school such as Nine Acres Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.

What happens next

If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before booking:

Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too

Responsibilities for owners

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in the Isle of Wight must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Typical surveys in the Isle of Wight

The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.

These are some of the things we deal with in the Isle of Wight:

Rented homes due for maintenance
Buying a property built before 2000
Pre-work surveys for trades
Schools, halls and community buildings

Prices and what affects them

We base our quote on:

The survey type
How many different materials need sampling
Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The building’s size and layout

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in the Isle of Wight

Do you cover the Isle of Wight?

Yes. We cover the Isle of Wight and the surrounding area as part of the Isle of Wight. Send us the postcode for a quote.

How quickly can you come out?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always.

What will I get after the survey?

Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
