How asbestos removal works in East Lockinge
If your builder has found suspect material in East Lockinge, work should stop there and people kept out. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and old cold water tanks.
In East Lockinge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about asbestos removal in East Lockinge
Could my house in East Lockinge contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Lockinge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in East Lockinge?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in East Lockinge by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
