Removing asbestos around Nettlecombe
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Nettlecombe has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Nettlecombe is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 23 miles away.
If you let property near Shanklin station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Nettlecombe, near Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. The coast is within about 3 miles of Nettlecombe, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We carry out removal jobs all over PO38 and the streets around it. We also carry out removal jobs in Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (9 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). For a property somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

Asbestos removal for Nettlecombe properties
In homes, in Nettlecombe as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old flues, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
In a village like Nettlecombe, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Options to consider in Nettlecombe
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we deal with in Nettlecombe
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For non-domestic buildings like The Island Free 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
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

Your questions about asbestos removal in Nettlecombe
Do you come out to small villages like Nettlecombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Nettlecombe and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 4.1 miles north-east of Nettlecombe, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens to the waste?

Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
