Asbestos removal for Hythe
About our asbestos removal in Hythe
In homes, in Hythe as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From cement water tanks in lofts and garage roof sheets, we cover textured coatings, cement soffits and water tanks.
Homes and small businesses in places like Hythe may have cement roofs and outbuildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Hythe
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 Hythe and the area around Southampton Town Quay station?
Yes. Southampton Town Quay station is about 2.3 miles north of Hythe, and we cover both.
Do you work in Hythe?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hythe and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What affects the price in Hythe
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
How it works
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. Late-December sunset in Hythe is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Which option is right?
