About our asbestos removal in Holbury
Every removal job in Holbury is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and old sheds and coal bunkers, including gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In places like Holbury, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Holbury
Do you work near Netley station?
Yes, we cover Holbury and the area towards Netley station, about 3.8 miles north-east.
Could my house in Holbury contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
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 I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How we work
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Holbury to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure we can get to the area

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
