About our asbestos removal in Emery Down
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Emery Down can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What else we do in Emery Down
Emery Down: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Emery Down?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
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.
How do I get a quote?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Should you do it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
