About asbestos removal in the Isle of Wight

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will explain what applies to your job in the Isle of Wight. We often deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor.

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.

Where we work in the Isle of Wight

Across the Isle of Wight, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Newport, Ryde and Cowes and the 102 villages and hamlets around them. 116 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Newport: On busy roads like the A3020 and A3054, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. In older properties in Newport, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. Outdoor removal in Newport is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Limits to be aware of

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:

We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Making good is normally a separate job

Looking after things afterwards

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

Let neighbours know if work is near them
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Tell us about any previous survey
Tell us about parking and access

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Options to consider in the Isle of Wight

Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.

Questions to ask before booking

What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

Why people call us in the Isle of Wight

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.

Common situations in older properties include:

Artex ceilings before renovation
Old waste on site
Garage roofs and whole garages
Materials found mid-project

Duty holders and landlords in the Isle of Wight

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

If you run a business from older premises in the Isle of Wight, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Common questions in the Isle of Wight

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Will I get the price in writing?

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

Do I need to move out?

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
