How asbestos removal works in Soberton Heath
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Soberton Heath: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos found during building work, we cover textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets and more.
In places like Soberton Heath, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Soberton Heath
Do older homes in Soberton Heath have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Soberton Heath may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Soberton Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
