How asbestos removal works in Old Basing

In a smaller place like Old Basing, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Old Basing
How far is Old Basing from London?
We cover Old Basing, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you cover Old Basing and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 2 miles west of Old Basing, and we cover both.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
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.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
