What else we do in Romsey
Typical removal jobs in Romsey
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
Landlords near Romsey station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- No removal until we know what it is
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we are done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Romsey, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Romsey: your questions answered
How far is Romsey from London?
We cover Romsey, about 69 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Romsey have asbestos?
Any home in Romsey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
