About asbestos removal in PO32
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and asbestos found during building work.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Where we work in PO32
Removal jobs across PO32 range from garage roofs in East Cowes and Whippingham to barns and outbuildings in 1 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.
East Cowes: For properties on main roads such as the A3021 and B3321, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted. In a school like Isle of Wight Studio School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In winter, the light goes in East Cowes by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Why people call us in PO32
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
PO32: your questions answered
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
