Asbestos removal in Tiptoe
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and Artex before plastering.
In Tiptoe, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Tiptoe
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Tiptoe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
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 the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tiptoe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How we work
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Tiptoe by about 4:05pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
