What we deal with in Eastleigh
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Debris left from a previous job
On busy roads like the A335 and B3033, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it.

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Eastleigh is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

FAQs for Eastleigh
Is asbestos common in Eastleigh homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eastleigh can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eastleigh from London?
We cover Eastleigh, about 65 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, 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.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
