Asbestos removal near Inner Avenue
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos removal near Inner Avenue
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Inner Avenue. From floor tiles before a new floor and debris left from a previous job, we deal with water tanks, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
Properties in areas like Inner Avenue with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Inner Avenue
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Inner Avenue and the area around St Denys station?
Yes. St Denys station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Inner Avenue, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Southampton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
At a school such as Bevois Town Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
