About our asbestos removal in Lower Slackstead
Every removal job in Lower Slackstead is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Lower Slackstead, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Lower Slackstead
Do you cover small places like Lower Slackstead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Lower Slackstead and the area around Romsey station?
Yes. Romsey station is about 3.3 miles south-west of Lower Slackstead, and we cover both.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Lower Slackstead, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Lower Slackstead, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
