We often deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks.

Asbestos removal in Gunville: local notes

Older buildings in Gunville, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Gunville is within about 5 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
Removal jobs anywhere in PO30 start with the postcode and some photos. Streets in the area include Ash Lane, Purdy Road and Gunville Road, and asbestos removal is available on all of them.

After we have finished in Gunville
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
A few practical points:
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What affects the price in Gunville
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A picture of the whole area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in Gunville
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across the Isle of Wight built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Textured coatings
In a school like Carisbrooke College, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The method and controls
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear advice on your options

Your questions about asbestos removal in Gunville
Do you come out to small villages like Gunville?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Gunville contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Gunville may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Gunville?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
The scope of asbestos removal
Before you book, note that:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

How it works
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Gunville is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know where we can park
- Let us know if something’s broken
