Asbestos removal near Shide
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and old sheds and coal bunkers, including flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Shide, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

What else we do in Shide
Duty holders and landlords in Shide
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Shide must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Shide, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Shide properties and asbestos removal
Shide is about 1 mile south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Shide range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Shide is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we work. We work right across the region, from Shide to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
On busy roads like the A3020, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. For non-domestic buildings like Nine Acres Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Shide is within about 5 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Common questions in Shide
Could my house in Shide contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shide may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
