Duty holders and landlords in Hightown
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Asbestos removal for Hightown properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and finds during refurbishment.
Rural removal near Hightown can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hightown
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Hightown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hightown
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
At a school such as Ringwood Junior School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
