Asbestos removal in Braishfield
Every removal job in Braishfield is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about asbestos garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In Braishfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

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. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get

- Clear written quotes
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Going forward:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.

FAQs for Braishfield
Is asbestos common in Braishfield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Braishfield may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Braishfield?
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, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
For rentals close to Romsey station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
