How asbestos removal works in Bentworth
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles and more.
In Bentworth, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Why people call us in Bentworth
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older properties in Bentworth, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Your options compared
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

FAQs for Bentworth
Do older homes in Bentworth have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Bentworth from London?
Bentworth is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Do you work in Bentworth?
We do: Bentworth is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
