Asbestos removal in Totton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Houses and local businesses around Totton may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in Totton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old flues
- Textured coatings
For properties on main roads such as the A35 and A36, we plan parking and loading in advance.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

FAQs for Totton
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Totton homes?
Any home in Totton 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
