About asbestos removal in SO52
If your builder has found suspect material in SO52, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, involving cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Prices in SO52
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Old cold water tanks
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right.
Before you book anyone
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The method and controls
SO52: your questions answered
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
