Asbestos removal near Park Gate
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, including flue pipes, water tanks and cement soffits.
In a village like Park Gate, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work done to the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
Park Gate properties and asbestos removal
Park Gate is about 3 miles south-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Properties in Park Gate range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 6 miles away.
Older buildings in Park Gate, near St Margaret Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like Park Gate Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Park Gate is within about 3 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
Landlords near Swanwick station often time removal for when a property is empty.
