Asbestos removal for Balmerlawn
How asbestos removal works in Balmerlawn
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roof sheets.
In places like Balmerlawn, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Removal jobs in Balmerlawn
Balmerlawn is about 5 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Balmerlawn has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Balmerlawn is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Balmerlawn to Southampton (about 10 miles away).
In a school like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Landlords near Brockenhurst station often time removal for when a property is empty. Balmerlawn is within about a mile of the New Forest National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. Balmerlawn is within about 6 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Balmerlawn were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Balmerlawn must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Balmerlawn questions
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 you cover small places like Balmerlawn?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
