Asbestos removal for Alverstoke properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and broken sheets in gardens.
In towns and villages like Alverstoke, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Alverstoke
Do you cover Alverstoke from London?
We cover Alverstoke, about 68 miles from central London.
Could my house in Alverstoke contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Alverstoke can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
