Asbestos removal near Brookgreen
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Brookgreen falls into that category. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In a village like Brookgreen, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For businesses and landlords in Brookgreen
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common questions in Brookgreen
Do you come out to small villages like Brookgreen?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Brookgreen have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brookgreen may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you cover Brookgreen?
We do: Brookgreen is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
How we work
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. We plan outdoor jobs in Brookgreen to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- The material is removed safely
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
How to prepare
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
