Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

How asbestos removal works in Minstead
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In a village like Minstead, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In winter, the light goes in Minstead by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Questions from Minstead
Do you cover Minstead and the area around Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, we cover Minstead and the area towards Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.2 miles east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

- The category of work
- Access to the area
- Waste quantity and disposal

- A wide shot showing where the material is

What we deal with in Minstead
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older buildings across Minstead, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
