How asbestos removal works in Millbrook
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Millbrook falls into that category. People often contact us about loft water tanks and cement flues and gutters, involving water tanks, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Millbrook, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share

If you let property near Millbrook (Hants) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Questions from Millbrook
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes, we cover Millbrook and the area towards Millbrook (Hants) station, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
