Asbestos removal for Andover
Asbestos removal for Andover properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
Homes and small businesses in places like Andover may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. We only recommend work that is needed.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Andover:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in Andover, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Andover
We base our quote on:
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- A photo of the whole area
- A close-up from a safe distance
You will get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Andover, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Andover questions
Do you cover Andover and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 0.5 miles west of Andover, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Andover have asbestos?
Any home in Andover built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Andover?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
