Common reasons for removal jobs in Purbrook
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Bedhampton station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Do you cover Purbrook from London?
Purbrook is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
