About our asbestos removal in Adgestone
Asbestos removal in Adgestone covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical materials include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like Adgestone, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you let property near Sandown station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Questions from Adgestone
Is asbestos common in Adgestone homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Adgestone can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Adgestone and the area around Sandown station?
Yes, we cover Adgestone and the area towards Sandown station, about 1.1 miles south.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Adgestone
For managing agents and freeholders in Adgestone, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Should you do 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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In winter, the light goes in Adgestone by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
