Asbestos survey for Winford properties

Our surveys in Winford cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition and strip-out, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and soffits.

Village properties around Winford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials, one by one

Asbestos cement

Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

Insulating board

It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

What affects the price in Winford

Every quote reflects:

What the material is and its state
How much there is
How much sampling is needed
The type of survey you need

Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Sending photos

Common reasons for surveys in Winford

Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:

Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
The communal parts of blocks of flats

Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

DIY and asbestos

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Limits to be aware of

Some limits to bear in mind:

The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Common materials

Garage and shed roofs
Cement sheets and cladding
Floor tiles and adhesive
Soffits and porch canopies
Water tanks and flues
Ceiling tiles
Roofing felt and bitumen
Boiler cupboards and panels
Artex and textured coatings
Pipe lagging

Questions from Winford

Do you work near Lake station?

Yes, we cover Winford and the area towards Lake station, about 1.6 miles east.

Can you survey a school or hall near Winford?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

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.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

How do I get a quote?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Do you cover Winford?

Yes. We cover Winford and the surrounding area as part of the Isle of Wight. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

For landlords, agents and businesses

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

If you run a business from older premises in Winford, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

The process

For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
