How asbestos removal works in Alverstone Garden Village
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and loft water tanks, including textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Alverstone Garden Village, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Alverstone Garden Village
Do you cover small places like Alverstone Garden Village?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Alverstone Garden Village homes?
If your home in Alverstone Garden Village was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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 much does asbestos removal cost in Alverstone Garden Village?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Alverstone Garden Village is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports
Getting a price
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

How we price asbestos removal

- An overall view
- Labels, if any
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
