How asbestos removal works in Farnborough
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and old sheds and coal bunkers.
Removal jobs around Farnborough often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- The category of work
- Access to the area

What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A photo of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- The access route
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

FAQs for Farnborough
Do you work in Farnborough despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Farnborough have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Farnborough?
