Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
Asbestos removal near Privett
Every removal job in Privett is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about old cold water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor.
In Privett, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Broken sheets in gardens
If you let property near Petersfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- Any exclusions
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Privett
Do you work near Petersfield station?
Yes. Petersfield station is about 4.7 miles south-east of Privett, and we cover both.
Could my house in Privett contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
