Your questions about asbestos removal in Branstone
Do you cover Branstone and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 1.9 miles south-east of Branstone, and we cover both.
Could my house in Branstone contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Branstone may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Branstone is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Covering London and the South East
- Clear written quotes
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
What we deal with in Branstone
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Branstone, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Any exclusions
- The scope of the job, in writing
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
