How asbestos removal works in PO30
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roofs and whole garages, including cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork

PO30: removal jobs of every size
Removal jobs across PO30 range from garage roofs in Newport, Barton and Hunny Hill to barns and outbuildings in 30 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access. Around 30 places in PO30 are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Newport: If you’re on or near the A3020 and A3054, tell us about parking and loading. Older buildings in Newport, near The Man in the Moon or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Late-December sunset in Newport is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages.

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across the Isle of Wight may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
For businesses and landlords in PO30
If you run a business from older premises in PO30, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common questions in PO30
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you test before removing asbestos in PO30?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
