After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos removal for Upper Swanmore properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and materials found mid-project, we cover textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Upper Swanmore can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Upper Swanmore
Do you cover Upper Swanmore from London?
Upper Swanmore is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Upper Swanmore have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Swanmore may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
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 I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
