Asbestos removal for Petersfield
Asbestos removal in Petersfield
Every removal job in Petersfield is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In places like Petersfield, typical jobs are garage roofs, flues and Artex, often ahead of building work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Petersfield
Do you cover Petersfield and the area around Petersfield station?
Yes. Petersfield station is close to the centre of Petersfield, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Petersfield from London?
We cover Petersfield, about 50 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in Petersfield?
Yes, Petersfield is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What we deal with in Petersfield
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Petersfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Step by step
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In winter, the light goes in Petersfield by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys
For businesses and landlords in Petersfield
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Covering London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
After we have finished in Petersfield
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
The scope of asbestos removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
