Expert Asbestos Testing Surveys in Newport, Isle of Wight

Most homeowners we speak to just want to know if their home is safe for day-to-day life. That's where a Management Survey comes in. It's designed to locate any asbestos that might be disturbed during normal occupancy or minor maintenance. It's largely non-intrusive—meaning we won't be tearing your house apart. We'll look at things like potential artex-removal needs or old asbestos-floor-tile-removal issues. Our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors will walk through your property, take small samples (bulk sampling) where needed, and send them off to a UKAS-accredited lab. You’ll get a clear, easy-to-read report that tells you exactly what’s there and how to manage it safely.

Are you planning on knocking through a kitchen wall or finally converting that loft in Ryde? Before you pick up the sledgehammer, you’ll need a Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey. This is a bit more "hands-on" than a standard survey because we need to check the areas that are usually hidden—inside walls, under floorboards, or within ceiling voids. It's a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for any construction work. It’s much better to find out about a bit of AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board) now than halfway through a build. If we do find something, we can help with asbestos-removal or even asbestos-encapsulation to keep your project moving forward safely.

If you run a shop in Newport town centre or manage an industrial unit near the Medina, you’re likely the "Duty Holder." This means you have a legal responsibility to manage the risk of asbestos in your building. It sounds daunting, doesn't it? But it doesn't have to be. We help local business owners stay compliant with HSE guidelines and HSG 264. From initial testing to creating a full asbestos management plan, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s checking asbestos-soffits-fascias-guttering or old pipe lagging, we’ll make sure your staff and customers are protected while you focus on running your business.

We know that when you're waiting for test results, every day feels like a week—especially if you're in the middle of a house sale. Because we’re local to the Isle of Wight, we can get to you quickly, whether you're in Newport, Sandown, or Ventnor. We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround for lab results. Once we’ve taken our samples, they go straight to a specialist laboratory for analysis. No waiting around for weeks on end. You’ll receive a comprehensive report with clear advice on the next steps, whether that involves asbestos-waste-disposal or simply leaving things as they are if they're in good condition.
