Asbestos removal across BH25
If your builder has found suspect material in BH25, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and old cold water tanks.
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless.

- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Asbestos removal across BH25
Removal jobs across BH25 range from garage roofs in New Milton, Barton on Sea and Ashley to barns and outbuildings in 3 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. 6 of the places we cover in BH25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
New Milton: If you let property near New Milton station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In older buildings across New Milton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

For businesses and landlords in BH25
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What we deal with in BH25
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
Your questions about asbestos removal in BH25
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do you work in BH25?
We do: our area includes BH25 and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
