Asbestos removal in Weston
Asbestos removal in Weston
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and cement flues and gutters, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
Homes in Weston with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Weston properties and asbestos removal
Weston is about 2 miles north-east of Hythe, in Southampton. We cover Weston as part of Southampton, for removal jobs of every size. Weston is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton we cover.
In older buildings across Weston, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. For non-domestic buildings like Weston Shore Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Weston is within about 6 miles of the New Forest National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 2 miles of Weston; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
Anywhere in SO19 and SO31, asbestos removal is available. Your property could be on Swift Road, Scott Road and Weston Lane or the roads around them, wherever it is in Weston.

The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Weston is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Weston questions
How far is Weston from London?
We cover Weston, about 70 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in Weston?
Yes, we do: Weston is within the area we cover in Southampton. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- A photo of the whole area

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
