Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
About our asbestos removal in Ashlett
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor, involving textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Ashlett, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What else we do in Ashlett
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What affects the price in Ashlett
Our quotes take into account:
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Helpful guides
Ashlett questions
Do you work near Hamble station?
Yes, we cover Ashlett and the area towards Hamble station, about 3.1 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What we do and don’t cover

- Making good is normally a separate job
