Common reasons for removal jobs in Forest Side
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across the Isle of Wight built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
At a school such as Carisbrooke College, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
After we’ve finished in Forest Side
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them

Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Duty holders and landlords in Forest Side
If your business premises in Forest Side were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Questions from Forest Side
Do you come out to small villages like Forest Side?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Forest Side 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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Forest Side?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
