Asbestos removal near Bursledon
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
How asbestos removal works in Bursledon
In homes, in Bursledon as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From garage roof sheets and textured coatings, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and floor tiles and more.
In a smaller place like Bursledon, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that’s needed.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are 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.
Bursledon questions
Do you cover Bursledon from London?
We cover Bursledon, about 68 miles from central London.
Do you cover Bursledon and the area around Bursledon station?
Yes, we cover Bursledon and the area towards Bursledon station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
