Asbestos removal for Eling properties
Asbestos removal in Eling covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and asbestos found during building work, involving floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Eling, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Eling properties and asbestos removal
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Southampton. Wherever your property is in Eling, tell us the postcode and what you need, and we will quote. Eling is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
For properties on main roads such as the A35, we plan parking and loading in advance. In older buildings across Eling, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 5 miles of Eling; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. Eling is within about 4 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
Wherever your property is in SO40 and SO15, asbestos removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Bury Lane, Rose Road and Mill Road or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. You’ll find Eling on the A35, which makes it simple to get to.

Duty holders and landlords in Eling
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
FAQs for Eling
Do you work near Totton station?
Yes. Totton station is close to the centre of Eling, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Eling homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in Eling?
Yes, Eling is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Choosing the right option
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Nearby places to Eling
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In a school like Eling Infant School and Nursery, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
