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. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

About our asbestos removal in Morton
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and cement water tanks in lofts.
In areas like Morton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across the Isle of Wight may contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work

Helpful guides
Morton questions
Do you cover small places like Morton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Morton and the area around Brading station?
Yes, we cover Morton and the area towards Brading station, about 0.6 miles north-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
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.
