Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Asbestos removal near Swanmore
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. From broken sheets in gardens and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
In areas like Swanmore, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
After we’ve finished in Swanmore
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos removal in Swanmore
Could my house in Swanmore contain asbestos?
Any home in Swanmore built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Swanmore from London?
Swanmore is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
