DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Bishopstoke
Do you cover Bishopstoke and the area around Eastleigh station?
Yes. Eastleigh station is about 1 mile west of Bishopstoke, and we cover both.
How far is Bishopstoke from London?
We cover Bishopstoke, about 65 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
