Asbestos removal across BH24
Common removal jobs in BH24 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages. Parts of BH24 are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Ringwood: In older properties in Ringwood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. For properties on main roads such as the A31 and A338, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted. Late-December sunset in Ringwood is about 4:05pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for removal jobs in BH24
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in BH24, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Your questions about asbestos removal in BH24
When can you start?

Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
