About our asbestos removal in Knowle
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and asbestos found during building work, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
Rural removal near Knowle can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
After we have finished in Knowle
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
For businesses and landlords in Knowle
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
If you let property near Fareham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How much there is
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results

Knowle questions
Do you cover Knowle from London?
Knowle is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2 miles south of Knowle, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
