The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. We plan outdoor jobs in Lee to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any parking restrictions
Getting a price
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Asbestos removal for Lee properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Lee. From Artex ceilings before renovation and cement flues and gutters, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Lee can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Asbestos removal in Lee: local notes
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Lee is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Lee is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work.
In older properties in Lee, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. In a school like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 8 miles of Lee; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 6 miles of Lee; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
For removal jobs in SO51, just send the postcode and a few photos. Your property could be on Lee Lane and Lee Church Lane or the roads around them, wherever it is in Lee. For properties just outside Lee, we cover Ashfield (1 mile east), Toothill (1 mile east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Nursling (1 mile south-east) and Rownhams (2 miles south-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Winchester (10 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Fareham (15 miles south-east), Totton (3 miles south), Chandler's Ford (5 miles north-east) and Hedge End (9 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Romsey Community Hospital (2.3 miles north) and King Johns House (2.3 miles north). The countryside around Lee includes Testwood Lakes.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Lee
Do you cover Lee and the area around Romsey station?
Yes. Romsey station is about 2.4 miles north of Lee, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in Lee?
Yes. We cover Lee and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
