About our asbestos removal in Rockbourne
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks, and people usually contact us about old waste on site and Artex ceilings before renovation.
Rural removal near Rockbourne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Send us the address in Rockbourne, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rockbourne, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Rockbourne questions
Do older homes in Rockbourne have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Rockbourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
