How asbestos removal works in Luccombe Village
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and broken sheets in gardens, involving flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Luccombe Village can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Luccombe Village
Could my house in Luccombe Village contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Luccombe Village can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Luccombe Village and the area towards Shanklin station, about 1.2 miles north.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
For businesses and landlords in Luccombe Village
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Things not to do

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
