Asbestos removal in Fordingbridge
Asbestos removal near Fordingbridge
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Fordingbridge: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. People often contact us about asbestos garages and old flues, involving cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Fordingbridge, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What else we do in Fordingbridge
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Fordingbridge Junior School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from Fordingbridge
Do older homes in Fordingbridge have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fordingbridge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in Fordingbridge?
Yes, Fordingbridge is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
