About asbestos removal in the Isle of Wight

Every removal job in the Isle of Wight is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and outbuildings with cement roofs, including flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles.

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done.

Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Where we work in the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to small villages, the Isle of Wight has every kind of removal job. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access. 116 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Newport: In a school like Nine Acres Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Newport, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. We plan outdoor jobs in Newport to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

What we deal with in the Isle of Wight

Typical jobs in the Isle of Wight include:

Old flues
Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Garage roofs and whole garages
Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos

Your options compared

Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right.

Questions from the Isle of Wight

What does licensed work mean?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Where does the asbestos go?

We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

What does removal cost?

Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
