About our asbestos removal in Brockenhurst
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old flues and debris left from a previous job.
In towns and villages like Brockenhurst, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Brockenhurst
Could my house in Brockenhurst contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Brockenhurst can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is close to the centre of Brockenhurst, and we cover the whole area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Do you work in Brockenhurst?
Yes, Brockenhurst is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

- The number of samples or the size of the building

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Going forward:

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
