Commercial asbestos removal is a regular job across Southampton’s industrial stock around Millbrook and Totton, much of which dates from decades when asbestos cement was standard for roofs and cladding. Anything built before 2000 is worth checking.
Work gets phased, scheduled out of hours where needed, and kept away from live areas, with RAMS ready before anyone sets foot on site. Your tenants carry on as normal throughout.
Method notices and waste logs kept on record
Fragile roofs worked under strict edge rules
Commercial jobs follow the same four stages as any other, just scaled and scheduled to suit a live operation rather than an empty property.
We walk the site with your building plans, mark up every suspect material across the roof, cladding, linings and flues, and agree a phasing plan that suits how you actually operate.
Within 48 hours of the survey, you’ll have a written price covering the full programme, an outline RAMS and how the waste will be routed and disposed of.
Our trained teams carry out soft strip demolition, taking down sheeting and linings intact under fragile-roof and containment controls, while the rest of your unit stays segregated and operational.
Waste is sent for licensed disposal, your documentation pack goes out, and if it’s needed, an independent air test confirms the area is clear before we hand it back.
Phased work and out-of-hours slots come as part of the standard offer, not as a special favour we grant occasionally.
RAMS, notifications, consignment notes and clearance records all arrive together in a single audit-ready pack.
Pair your strip-out with our Southampton asbestos re roofing service so the unit goes straight back to being weathertight.
The certificate your managing agent will inevitably ask for, sent across before we ever set foot on site.
FAQS
In most cases, yes. We split the site into work zones, phase the job in sections, and take on roof areas outside normal hours if that suits you better. We work all of this out at survey stage, around your racking layout, walkways and shift pattern.
If your building is non-domestic and was built before 2000, then yes. Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 puts a legal duty to manage on whoever’s in control of the premises. Without a current register, an asbestos management survey is the place to start, and we can get one turned around quickly.
Not necessarily. Cement roofing that’s still sound can often just be managed, coated or over-sheeted instead. Where it’s leaking, failing, or getting in the way of a sale or lease, removing and replacing it tends to be the tidier solution. We’ll give you a straight answer and costs for both options.
Non-licensed work needs no notice at all. NNLW has to be notified before it begins, and licensed work runs on 14 days’ notice from a licensed contractor. Whichever category applies to your job, we identify it at survey and handle the notification ourselves.
Yes, this is something we do regularly. We slot into an existing main-contractor programme, provide our RAMS for their documentation pack, and sequence the removal so trades coming in afterwards aren’t held up. Send over the programme and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s still a fixed price. We’d much rather survey the job properly and commit to a figure than bill day rates that creep upward. For phased projects, each phase gets its own fixed price, which keeps your cashflow and our schedule moving together.
No. Any out-of-hours or weekend work is priced into the fixed quotation from the outset rather than tacked on afterwards as a premium. You’ll know exactly what the full programme costs, whatever hours it ends up running.
You’ll get a complete pack for every phase, including RAMS, any notifications submitted, consignment notes, clearance records where testing was carried out, and an updated extract for your register. It’s formatted ready for audit, and you won’t need to chase us for it.
