Asbestos removal in Fawley
Why people call us in Fawley
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Fawley, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- If the price includes VAT

- What paperwork you get
Asbestos removal near Fawley

Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks.

The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Fawley is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- The access route
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
