Asbestos removal for Westridge properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and cement water tanks in lofts, including floor tiles, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In places like Westridge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Westridge by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move things out of the way carefully

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Westridge
Could my house in Westridge contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Westridge may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Westridge and the area around Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Westridge and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 0.5 miles west.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Westridge?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in Westridge?
We do: Westridge is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
