After we have finished in Brighstone

Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.

Staying safe afterwards:

Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Share any previous surveys or drawings
Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe

Avoid these

If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Asbestos survey near Brighstone

Not every older building in Brighstone contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, involving garage roofs, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.

In a village like Brighstone, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Choosing the right option

The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What affects the price in Brighstone

These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:

The building’s size and layout
What the material is and its state
How easy it is to reach
Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Questions from Brighstone

Do you cover small places like Brighstone?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Could my house in Brighstone contain asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brighstone may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Could my home contain asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

How do I get a quote?

Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

When can you start?

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

Typical surveys in Brighstone

Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in the Isle of Wight can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.

Common situations in older properties include:

Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
The communal parts of blocks of flats
Planned refurbishment work
Purchases of older homes and buildings

What we do and don’t cover

A few things to be aware of:

Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
