Asbestos removal near Nettlestone
Questions from Nettlestone
Do older homes in Nettlestone have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Nettlestone from London?
We cover Nettlestone, about 70 miles from central London.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you work in Nettlestone?
We do: Nettlestone is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Nettlestone?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Asbestos removal near Nettlestone
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about Artex before plastering and cement water tanks in lofts.
In areas like Nettlestone, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
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.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
Common reasons for removal jobs in Nettlestone
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles

Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

For businesses and landlords in Nettlestone
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
