Asbestos removal in Whiteley Bank
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people normally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and textured coatings.
In Whiteley Bank, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Whiteley Bank
Do you cover Whiteley Bank and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 1.9 miles east of Whiteley Bank, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Whiteley Bank?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
- 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
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
