Asbestos removal for Canada
FAQs for Canada
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Canada have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Canada may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Canada?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Asbestos removal for Canada properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Canada, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

If you let property near Romsey station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Canada is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

We base our quote on:
- How many samples are needed
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Common reasons for removal jobs in Canada
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
At a school such as Wellow School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
