Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Typical removal jobs in Wherwell Wood
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Wherwell Wood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- If the price includes VAT
- Any exclusions
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After we have finished in Wherwell Wood
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
