A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Questions from Carisbrooke
Could my house in Carisbrooke contain asbestos?
Any home in Carisbrooke built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For businesses and landlords in Carisbrooke
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Carisbrooke were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
