How asbestos removal works in Bonchurch
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s old flues and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and textured coatings.
In areas like Bonchurch, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

FAQs for Bonchurch
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Bonchurch and the area towards Shanklin station, about 2.4 miles north.
Do you cover small places like Bonchurch?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
