Asbestos removal in Godshill
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Godshill falls into that category. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and Artex before plastering.
In a village like Godshill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Godshill
Do you cover small places like Godshill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Godshill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Godshill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Godshill?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Godshill is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

What else we do in Godshill
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Asbestos removal in Godshill: local notes
Godshill is about 5 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Godshill is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 20 miles away.
If you let property near Shanklin station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Godshill, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of Godshill, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

What we deal with in Godshill

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos found during building work

- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Godshill Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
