Asbestos help in Up Somborne
Asbestos removal in Up Somborne
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and people usually contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work.
Rural removal near Up Somborne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Take a look at how we price jobs or published price ranges.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once we’re done:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Up Somborne is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure we can get to the area
