About our asbestos removal in Sway
Asbestos removal in Sway covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and cement water tanks in lofts, involving water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Sway, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Sway, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Sway questions
Is asbestos common in Sway homes?
If your home in Sway was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
