Removing asbestos around Hillway
Hillway is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Hillway is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
In older properties in Hillway, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. In a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Hillway is within about 3 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We carry out removal jobs all over PO35. Local streets include Hillway Road and Jenny Streets Lane; we cover every one. If your property is just outside Hillway, we also cover Bembridge (1 mile north-east), Foreland Fields (1 mile north-east), St Helens (2 miles north-west), Gaskins (2 miles north-west) and Yaverland (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (9 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north-west), Cowes (11 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south-west), Shanklin (5 miles south-west) and Ventnor (7 miles south-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
For somewhere as remote as Hillway, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Asbestos removal near Hillway
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. From Artex ceilings before renovation and garage roof sheets, we cover cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks and more.
In Hillway, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What else we do in Hillway
After we have finished in Hillway
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How we work
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We will tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. We plan outdoor jobs in Hillway to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
