Asbestos removal in Ashley
Found asbestos during building work in Ashley? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and garage roof sheets, involving water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In areas like Ashley, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How we work
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Ashley is about 4:05pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

- A rough size or measurement
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Staying safe afterwards:

- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Ashley properties and asbestos removal
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We work across Ashley and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Ashley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
In a school like Ashley Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. If you let property near New Milton station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Ashley is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 5 miles of Ashley, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

What else we do in Ashley
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is
- Accredited laboratory results
Read how we price jobs and the cost guide.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Ashley
Do older homes in Ashley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ashley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Why people call us in Ashley
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Ashley, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
