Asbestos removal for Lymington properties
Every removal job in Lymington is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. From loft water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In a town like Lymington, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Lymington
Is asbestos common in Lymington homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

Materials in Lymington
- Water tanks

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Typical removal jobs in Lymington
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment

Questions to ask before you book
- What category of work it is
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
