Asbestos removal in Emsworth
About our asbestos removal in Emsworth
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and old cold water tanks.
In a smaller place like Emsworth, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
To 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.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Nearby places to Emsworth
DIY and asbestos
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Emsworth properties and asbestos removal
Emsworth is about 2 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Emsworth has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Emsworth is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Our area stretches from Emsworth to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
On busy roads like the A27 and A259, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. If you let property near Emsworth station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Emsworth is within about 6 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
