How asbestos survey works in Brading
What you’re planning in Brading decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. We often deal with soffits, flues and water tanks, and people typically contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and demolition projects.
In a village like Brading, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Typical surveys in Brading
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across the Isle of Wight can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000
Schools such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- What the report or result will contain
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether extra samples cost more
- If the price includes VAT
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Practical recommendations
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

What changes the cost:
- How many outbuildings are included

- The survey scope
- Material and condition
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A picture of the whole area
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Brading
Do you cover small places like Brading?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Brading station?
Yes. Brading station is close to the centre of Brading, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Brading, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
