How asbestos removal works in Mansbridge
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and old waste on site, involving water tanks, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Properties in places like Mansbridge with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Mansbridge
Do you cover Mansbridge from London?
Mansbridge is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Mansbridge and the area around Swaythling station?
Yes, we cover Mansbridge and the area towards Swaythling station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
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 work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Typical removal jobs in Mansbridge
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Materials found mid-project
In older buildings across Mansbridge, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Options to consider in Mansbridge
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
