About our asbestos removal in Ventnor
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters.
In a smaller place like Ventnor, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan outdoor jobs in Ventnor to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Common questions in Ventnor
Do you cover Ventnor and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Ventnor and the area towards Shanklin station, about 3 miles north-east.
Do older homes in Ventnor have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Ventnor?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

Duty holders and landlords in Ventnor
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
