Asbestos removal near Paulsgrove
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about asbestos garages and loft water tanks.
In a smaller place like Paulsgrove, 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.

DIY and asbestos
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 has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Paulsgrove
Do older homes in Paulsgrove have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Paulsgrove may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Cosham station?
Yes, we cover Paulsgrove and the area towards Cosham station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Paulsgrove?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Paulsgrove?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
