SO14: removal jobs of every size
Removal jobs across SO14 range from garage roofs in Itchen, Portswood and Woolston to barns and outbuildings in 0 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. 10 of the places we cover in SO14 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Inner Avenue: In a school like Bevois Town Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Landlords near St Denys station often time removal for when a property is empty. In winter, the light goes in Inner Avenue by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded.
What to look for in a quote
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will advise.
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
FAQs for SO14
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you cover SO14?
Yes. We cover SO14 and the surrounding area as part of Southampton. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
