What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:

- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Blacknest
Is asbestos common in Blacknest homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Blacknest may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Blacknest and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 0.5 miles north of Blacknest, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:

- A wide shot showing where the material is
You’ll get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
