Asbestos removal across SP9
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical materials include cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people typically contact us about debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
What you will pay
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Removing asbestos in SP9
Removal jobs across SP9 range from garage roofs in Tidworth and Shipton Bellinger to barns and outbuildings in 1 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.
Tidworth: For properties on main roads such as the A338 and A3026, we plan parking and loading in advance. Older buildings in Tidworth, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. In winter, the light goes in Tidworth by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
For landlords, agents and businesses

Common questions in SP9
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in SP9?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
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.
