Asbestos help in Hale Common

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hale Common, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
How asbestos removal works in Hale Common
Asbestos removal in Hale Common covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and debris left from a previous job, we deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In a village like Hale Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Hale Common questions
Do you cover small places like Hale Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hale Common and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Hale Common and the area towards Shanklin station, about 2.5 miles south-east.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
If you’re on or near the A3056, tell us about parking and loading.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
