Asbestos removal for Laverstoke properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s broken sheets in gardens and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In places like Laverstoke, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What else we do in Laverstoke
Why people call us in Laverstoke
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Laverstoke, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The documents you will receive
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. We plan outdoor jobs in Laverstoke to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Laverstoke, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common questions in Laverstoke
Do you cover Laverstoke from London?
We cover Laverstoke, about 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Laverstoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: 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 is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
