A closer look at the materials
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.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How asbestos removal works in Ashfield
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Ashfield: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Ashfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Options to consider in Ashfield
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What else we do in Ashfield
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ashfield
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Ashfield, near Church of St Boniface or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

FAQs for Ashfield
Do you work near Romsey station?

How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
