Asbestos removal for Lordswood 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 materials include textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos garages.
Properties in areas like Lordswood with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Questions from Lordswood
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.
Do you cover Lordswood and the area around Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes, we cover Lordswood and the area towards Millbrook (Hants) station, about 2.2 miles south.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lordswood?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lordswood 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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
