Asbestos help in Setley
Asbestos removal near Setley
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about broken sheets in gardens and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In a village like Setley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Setley
Do you cover Setley and the area around Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is about 0.6 miles north of Setley, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Setley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Setley were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Setley is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
