Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

About our asbestos survey in Yarbridge
If you are buying a home or building in Yarbridge from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with water tanks, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels, and people usually contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and common parts of flats and HMOs.
In a village like Yarbridge, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Yarbridge
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. 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.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-work surveys for trades
For a school like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What you will receive in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope, in writing
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Options to consider in Yarbridge
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Yarbridge: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Yarbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Yarbridge and the area around Brading station?
Yes, we cover Yarbridge and the area towards Brading station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
