Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Leagreen
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Leagreen, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

- Old cold water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Landlords near New Milton station often time removal for when a property is empty.

- VAT, clearly stated
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges

Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- Visible markings

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Leagreen
Could my house in Leagreen contain asbestos?
Any home in Leagreen built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
