Asbestos removal in Upper Kingston
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Asbestos removal for Upper Kingston properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Upper Kingston can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Upper Kingston
If you manage or own a block in Upper Kingston, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Clear written quotes

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Upper Kingston: your questions answered
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 cover small places like Upper Kingston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Upper Kingston
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos found during building work
At a school such as Ringwood Junior School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
