Asbestos removal near Farnborough
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos garages.
Houses and local businesses around Farnborough may have cement roofs and outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Farnborough
Could my house in Farnborough contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Farnborough may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Farnborough from London?
We cover Farnborough, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Farnborough?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Farnborough?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Farnborough, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
