Asbestos removal near Winsor
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
Rural removal near Winsor can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Towns and villages near Winsor
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Winsor, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Winsor, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Winsor
Do older homes in Winsor have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Winsor and the area around Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Winsor, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
