A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
- Labels, if any
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
How we work
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Yarbridge by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Helpful guides
Questions from Yarbridge
Do you cover Yarbridge and the area around Brading station?
Yes. Brading station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Yarbridge, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Yarbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in Yarbridge?
We do: our area includes Yarbridge and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
After we’ve finished in Yarbridge
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
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.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Loft water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
