Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Typical removal jobs in Haslar
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
In a school like Haselworth Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Records for your files
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Questions from Haslar
Do you cover Haslar from London?
Haslar is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, we cover Haslar and the area towards Portsmouth Harbour station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
