Asbestos removal for Leckford 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. Typical jobs include old flues and garage roofs and whole garages, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In Leckford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After we’ve finished in Leckford
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The process
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Leckford by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Hampshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Leckford, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Questions from Leckford
Do you come out to small villages like Leckford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Leckford contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Leckford?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job

Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
