Your questions about asbestos removal in Hungerford
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Hungerford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Hungerford?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
About our asbestos removal in Hungerford
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex before plastering.
In Hungerford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hungerford
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Hampshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Hungerford, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
