Asbestos removal for Sandy Balls
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos removal in Sandy Balls
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and asbestos found during building work, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Sandy Balls, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Sandy Balls: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Sandy Balls?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Sandy Balls?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Sandy Balls

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site
