Asbestos help in Hound
Asbestos removal for Hound properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From old cold water tanks and old waste on site, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In areas like Hound, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common materials
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks

- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Hound
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
These come up again and again:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For non-domestic buildings like The Hamble School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

How it works
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Hound is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
