Asbestos survey in Bembridge
Buying an older property in Bembridge? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and planned refurbishment work, including textured ceilings, garage roofs and water tanks.
In Bembridge, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- 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
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
How we work
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit

Typical surveys in Bembridge
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bembridge:
- Checks on rental property
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Buying a property built before 2000
For a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Before you book anyone
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Areas included and excluded
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What the report or result will contain
After we’ve finished in Bembridge
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Going forward:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bembridge?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Brading station?
Yes. Brading station is about 2.4 miles west of Bembridge, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
