Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Questions from Hangersley
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 cover small places like Hangersley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Hangersley?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Why people call us in Hangersley
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old flues
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Hangersley, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
