Asbestos removal for Kimbridge
Asbestos removal near Kimbridge
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor.
In areas like Kimbridge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Kimbridge, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Before you book anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What is not included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Outdoor removal in Kimbridge is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any parking restrictions

Questions from Kimbridge
Do older homes in Kimbridge have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Kimbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A photo of the whole area
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, 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.
Why people choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear advice on your options

Materials we deal with

We remove them without cutting with power tools.
