How asbestos removal works in Midanbury
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Midanbury. Typical jobs include old waste on site and loft water tanks, involving floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Midanbury, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Midanbury
How far is Midanbury from London?
We cover Midanbury, about 68 miles from central London.
Do you work near Bitterne station?
Yes, we cover Midanbury and the area towards Bitterne station, about 0.8 miles south-west.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Midanbury?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Removal jobs in Midanbury
Midanbury is about 1 mile east of Southampton, in Southampton. Midanbury is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in all 40 towns and villages in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Older buildings in Midanbury, near Church of Ascension or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like Bitterne Park School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Midanbury is within about 3 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
