HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
FAQs for Wittensford
Do you come out to small villages like Wittensford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Why people call us in Wittensford
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Textured coatings
If you let property near Ashurst New Forest station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Before you book anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
