Asbestos removal for Test Valley
About our asbestos removal in Test Valley
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From asbestos found during building work and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In places like Test Valley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Questions from Test Valley
Do you cover small places like Test Valley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Test Valley from London?
We cover Test Valley, about 59 miles from central London.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
