Asbestos removal in Wellow
Asbestos removal in Wellow
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and finds during refurbishment, we cover textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles and more.
In areas like Wellow, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Removing asbestos around Wellow
Wellow is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We work across Wellow and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Wellow is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We work right across the region, from Wellow to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Wellow is within about 4 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We cover removal jobs across PO41. Close by, we cover Thorley Street (1 mile north-west), Ningwood (1 mile east), Thorley (1 mile north-west), Newbridge (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (12 miles south-east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
Wellow is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
A little further out are Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (1.7 miles south-east) and Yarmouth Castle (2.4 miles north-west). Open spaces near Wellow include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
- The access route
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Wellow
Do you come out to small villages like Wellow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Wellow contain asbestos?
If your home in Wellow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Why people call us in Wellow
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wellow:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older properties in Wellow, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What else we do in Wellow
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
