How asbestos removal works in Lord's Wood
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and garage roof sheets, involving floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In Lord's Wood, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Lord's Wood properties and asbestos removal
Lord's Wood is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Lord's Wood is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Lord's Wood to Southampton (about 6 miles away).
In a school like Colden Common Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Older buildings in Lord's Wood, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Neighbouring places we cover include Highbridge (1 mile north-west), Brambridge (1 mile north-east), Colden Common (1 mile north-east), Nob's Crook (1 mile east) and Fisher's Pond (1 mile east).

Lord's Wood: your questions answered
How far is Lord's Wood from London?
Lord's Wood is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Lord's Wood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Typical removal jobs in Lord's Wood
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, 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:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you let property near Eastleigh station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lord's Wood must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What affects the price in Lord's Wood
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
