Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Typical removal jobs in Wootton
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across the Isle of Wight may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old flues
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
Older buildings in Wootton, near St. Edmund's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Wootton
Could my house in Wootton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Ryde Esplanade station?
Yes, we cover Wootton and the area towards Ryde Esplanade station, about 3.3 miles east.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
