Asbestos removal for Harbridge
How asbestos removal works in Harbridge
Every removal job in Harbridge is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings and more.
In places like Harbridge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Typical removal jobs in Harbridge
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These come up again and again:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
In older buildings across Harbridge, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Questions from Harbridge
Do older homes in Harbridge have asbestos?
Any home in Harbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Harbridge?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
