What else we do in Marsh Green
For businesses and landlords in Marsh Green
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Marsh Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Structural work through coated ceilings
In older homes in Marsh Green, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Before booking anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
Options to consider in Marsh Green
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

FAQs for Marsh Green
Do older homes in Marsh Green have asbestos?
If your home in Marsh Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Marsh Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover Marsh Green?
Yes, we do: Marsh Green is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What affects the price in Marsh Green
What changes the cost:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
