About our asbestos removal in Horseport
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and Artex ceilings before renovation, including cement roof sheets, water tanks and textured coatings.
In Horseport, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Why people call us in Horseport

Questions from Horseport
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 cover small places like Horseport?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Horseport?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
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.
