Asbestos removal for Whiteley properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, involving cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings.
Properties in areas like Whiteley with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
What we deal with in Whiteley
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Whiteley Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Whiteley?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
