Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
About our asbestos removal in Peartree Green
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project, including gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Peartree Green, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. We only recommend work that is needed.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

The scope of asbestos removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

What we deal with in Peartree Green
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Southampton may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old flues
In older buildings across Peartree Green, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
