Areas we cover
Asbestos removal across SO20
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.

- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Landmarks near Broughton
Locally, our jobs take us close to Broughton Primary School, Church of St Mary the Virgin and The Tally Ho Public House. The closest station to Broughton is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Asbestos removal across SO20
Common removal jobs in SO20 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Hyde, Highcliffe and Winnall and the 15 villages and hamlets around them.
Broughton: Older buildings in Broughton, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Landlords near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station often time removal for when a property is empty. Late-December sunset in Broughton is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
Duty holders and landlords in SO20
For managing agents and freeholders in SO20, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:

SO20 questions
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
