Asbestos Removal in Southampton in Southampton

While some cement products are lower risk, you should always use a professional. If you break a sheet, it releases fibres into the air that you cannot see. We have the gear to keep the site clean and we provide a legal disposal certificate that you will need if you ever sell your house.

The price depends on the type of material, how much there is, and how easy it is to get to. Removing a few floor tiles is much cheaper than stripping out high-risk AIB. We provide free, transparent quotes so you know exactly what the cost will be before we start.

AIB stands for Asbestos Insulation Board. It was used for fire protection and wall panels. It is dangerous because it is "friable," which is a fancy way of saying it crumbles easily. If you knock or drill it, it releases a high concentration of fibres. This is why it almost always requires a licensed contractor.

Generally, if Artex is in good condition and painted over, it isn't an immediate risk. The danger comes when you want to scrape it off, sand it down, or pull down the ceiling. If you are planning home improvements, you should have it tested or removed by a professional first.

We take all hazardous waste to a specially licensed disposal site. As a registered waste carrier, we track the material from the moment it leaves your property until it is safely buried in a designated landfill. We give you a waste consignment note as proof of legal disposal.

You cannot tell just by looking. If your property was built or renovated between 1950 and 1999, there is a high chance it contains some form of asbestos. The only way to be sure is to have a sample tested in a lab. We can arrange this for you quickly and easily.
