Asbestos removal for Lee-on-the-Solent
Asbestos removal near Lee-on-the-Solent
In homes, in Lee-on-the-Solent as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and old waste on site, involving textured coatings, cement soffits and water tanks.
In a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Typical removal jobs in Lee-on-the-Solent
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Lee-on-the-Solent, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
