Your questions about asbestos removal in Southrope
Do you cover Southrope and the area around Alton station?
Yes, we cover Southrope and the area towards Alton station, about 4.5 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Southrope homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Southrope can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
After we have finished in Southrope
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.

- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park

What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
