Asbestos removal across RG21
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. We often deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and textured coatings.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Cost
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
How we work in RG21
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Oakridge: In older buildings across Oakridge, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. If you’re on or near the A3010, tell us about parking and loading. Outdoor removal in Oakridge is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
Duty holders and landlords in RG21
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Questions from RG21
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work in RG21?
Yes, we do: RG21 is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
