Asbestos survey near Newbridge
Asbestos survey near Newbridge
What you are planning in Newbridge decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Typical materials include pipe lagging, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and pre-work surveys for trades.
Around a village like Newbridge, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Newbridge
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in Newbridge
Do you cover small places like Newbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Newbridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- The building’s size and layout
- How much sampling is needed
- The survey scope
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
You’ll get a written quote. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies

- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs

What happens

- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

For businesses and landlords in Newbridge

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s 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:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Public and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Got an older property in Newbridge, close to Church of St. Michael the Archangel or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Comparing quotes
- VAT, clearly stated
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you will receive in writing
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
