Asbestos removal for Townhill Park properties
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and cement flues and gutters, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Townhill Park, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Townhill Park were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

What it costs
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Quotes that spell out the scope
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we’re done:
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
FAQs for Townhill Park
Do you cover Townhill Park and the area around Swaythling station?
Yes. Swaythling station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Townhill Park, and we cover both.
Do you cover Townhill Park from London?
We cover Townhill Park, about 67 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Townhill Park, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
