How asbestos removal works in Bitterne Manor
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and old waste on site, involving water tanks, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In places like Bitterne Manor, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bitterne Manor
How far is Bitterne Manor from London?
We cover Bitterne Manor, about 69 miles from central London.
Could my house in Bitterne Manor contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bitterne Manor may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work in Bitterne Manor?
Yes, we do: our area includes Bitterne Manor and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
