Asbestos removal near Arreton
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
About our asbestos removal in Arreton
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Arreton falls into that category. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and cement water tanks in lofts, involving water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In Arreton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Arreton
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Arreton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos

- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement flues and gutters
For rentals close to Sandown station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What is not included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

Asbestos removal in Arreton: local notes

We work in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 18 miles away.
Older buildings in Arreton, near St. George's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of Arreton, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Common questions in Arreton
Do you cover Arreton and the area around Sandown station?
Yes, we cover Arreton and the area towards Sandown station, about 3.4 miles east.
Do older homes in Arreton have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
