About our asbestos removal in Farnborough
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and old waste on site, including gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In Farnborough, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Farnborough
Do you come out to small villages like Farnborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What affects the price in Farnborough
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The category of work

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Farnborough were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Why people call us in Farnborough
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older properties in Farnborough, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
