Questions from Copythorne
Do you work near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, we cover Copythorne and the area towards Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Copythorne
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Copythorne
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Copythorne:
- Old waste on site
- Old cold water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in Copythorne, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Before you book anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether VAT is included
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Suitable insurance for the work
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
