About our asbestos removal in Andover Down
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and cement flues and gutters, including textured coatings, water tanks and floor tiles.
In Andover Down, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Andover Down questions
How far is Andover Down from London?
Andover Down is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Andover Down homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Andover Down can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Where asbestos turns up

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- 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
