Asbestos removal near Harestock
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings and more.
Homes in Harestock with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Questions from Harestock
Do you cover Harestock and the area around Winchester station?
Yes. Winchester station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Harestock, and we cover both.
How far is Harestock from London?
Harestock is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What affects the price in Harestock
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
