Asbestos removal in Highbridge
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people normally contact us about loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Highbridge, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Highbridge is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare

- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Highbridge questions
Do you cover small places like Highbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Highbridge and the area around Eastleigh station?
Yes, we cover Highbridge and the area towards Eastleigh station, about 1.7 miles south-west.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
