About our asbestos removal in West End
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical materials include textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and floor tiles before a new floor.
Homes in West End with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Typical removal jobs in West End
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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For rentals close to Southampton Airport Parkway station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The scope of the job, in writing

What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Options to consider in West End
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The scope of asbestos removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt

Removing asbestos around West End
West End is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. West End has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 683 places in Hampshire.
At a school such as Saint James' Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in West End, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of West End, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Common questions in West End
Do you work near Southampton Airport Parkway station?
Yes, we cover West End and the area towards Southampton Airport Parkway station, about 1.8 miles north-west.
How far is West End from London?
We cover West End, about 67 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
