Asbestos removal for Forest Corner properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are cement roof sheets, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement water tanks in lofts.
In a village like Forest Corner, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For businesses and landlords in Forest Corner
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Should you do it yourself?

Questions from Forest Corner
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Forest Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Forest Corner?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Typical removal jobs in Forest Corner
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in Forest Corner, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any exclusions
- What paperwork you get

What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
