Asbestos removal for Red Rice properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about Artex before plastering and asbestos garages.
Rural removal near Red Rice can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Red Rice
Is asbestos common in Red Rice homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Red Rice may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Red Rice and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 2.6 miles north-east of Red Rice, and we cover both.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
For businesses and landlords in Red Rice
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
See our prices page or our cost guide.
