Questions from Alverstone
Do you cover small places like Alverstone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Sandown station?
Yes. Sandown station is about 1.1 miles south-east of Alverstone, and we cover both.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Alverstone?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Asbestos removal in Alverstone
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and asbestos found during building work.
Rural removal near Alverstone can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Options to consider in Alverstone
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. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
Older buildings in Alverstone, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In winter, the light goes in Alverstone by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

After we have finished in Alverstone
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
