Asbestos removal in Dean
Asbestos removal near Dean
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts.
In Dean, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

FAQs for Dean
Do you work near Botley station?
Yes, we cover Dean and the area towards Botley station, about 4.6 miles south-west.
Do older homes in Dean have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dean can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Why people call us in Dean
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In a school like Bishops Waltham Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
