What we deal with in Norton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
At a school such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Questions from Norton
Do you cover small places like Norton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 3.9 miles north of Norton, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Duty holders and landlords in Norton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
