FAQs for Yaverland
Do you cover Yaverland and the area around Brading station?
Yes. Brading station is about 1 mile north of Yaverland, and we cover both.
Could my house in Yaverland contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Yaverland?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Yaverland?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
How asbestos survey works in Yaverland
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Yaverland must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and rented homes due for maintenance, we cover pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues.
Village surveys around Yaverland can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Yaverland
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Yaverland, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Options to consider in Yaverland
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common reasons for surveys in Yaverland
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Public and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Planning work on an older building in Yaverland, whether near St John the Baptist Church or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Step by step

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
