Asbestos removal in South Gorley
About our asbestos removal in South Gorley
Every removal job in South Gorley is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement flues and gutters.
Rural removal near South Gorley can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Identify first, remove only when needed

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in South Gorley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job

South Gorley questions
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like South Gorley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
