Asbestos removal in Hordle
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Hordle falls into that category. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and old cold water tanks.
In a smaller place like Hordle, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older buildings across Hordle, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

What else we do in Hordle
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, 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.
After we have finished in Hordle
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
- Licensed or non-licensed

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Common questions in Hordle
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near New Milton station?
Yes, we cover Hordle and the area towards New Milton station, about 1.7 miles west.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
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 asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
