Asbestos help in Hedge End
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.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
How asbestos removal works in Hedge End
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and Artex before plastering, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
Homes and small businesses in areas like Hedge End often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
- Asbestos found during building work
In a school like Shamblehurst Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Places near Hedge End
What else we do in Hedge End
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Going forward:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Yes, we cover Hedge End and the area towards Hedge End station, about 1.2 miles north.
How far is Hedge End from London?
We cover Hedge End, about 66 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
