Asbestos removal in Pondwell
Should you do it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common questions in Pondwell
Do you cover small places like Pondwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Pondwell from London?
Pondwell is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work in Pondwell?
Yes, we do: our area includes Pondwell and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Pondwell
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across the Isle of Wight built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Nettlestone Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
