About our asbestos removal in Kingsley
In homes, in Kingsley as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Kingsley can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What affects the price in Kingsley
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Kingsley: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Kingsley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kingsley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 3 miles north of Kingsley, and we cover both.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
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.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.

What we deal with in Kingsley

People normally contact us about one of these:

In a school like Mill Chase Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Find any old asbestos reports
How to get a quote

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
