About our asbestos removal in Hillyfields
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about textured coatings and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like Hillyfields, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Hillyfields: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Hillyfields and the area around Redbridge station?
Yes. Redbridge station is about 1.1 miles south of Hillyfields, and we cover both.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Hillyfields?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we deal with in Hillyfields
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before plastering
- Materials found mid-project
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos garages
For non-domestic buildings like Holy Family Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
