Asbestos removal in The Frenches
How asbestos removal works in The Frenches
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old waste on site and materials found mid-project.
In The Frenches, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

Staying safe afterwards:
- File the consignment note

- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
What happens
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in The Frenches is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

FAQs for The Frenches
Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, we cover The Frenches and the area towards Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 2.5 miles north.
Do you cover small places like The Frenches?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How much does asbestos removal cost in The Frenches?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in The Frenches, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What else we do in The Frenches
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
