A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

How asbestos survey works in Branstone
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Branstone, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and flues, and typical jobs are kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Around a village like Branstone, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Branstone
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Branstone and the area towards Shanklin station, about 1.9 miles south-east.
Do older homes in Branstone have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Branstone may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Branstone?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Worth knowing before you book:

- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Branstone
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Common reasons for surveys in Branstone
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
If you’re a landlord near Shanklin station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The report contents
- The scope of the job, in writing
