Denmead: your questions answered
How far is Denmead from London?
Denmead is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Cosham station?
Yes, we cover Denmead and the area towards Cosham station, about 4.1 miles south.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Denmead, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
See our prices page and our cost guide.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
