Expert Asbestos Soffits Fascias Guttering in Eastleigh, Hampshire

It’s a scenario we see far too often in Eastleigh: a homeowner decides to freshen up their roofline and a contractor suggests simply 'capping over' the old boards with new uPVC. On the surface, it looks like a quick, cheap fix, but it's actually quite risky. By covering up asbestos soffits, you're essentially trapping a hazardous material that will eventually deteriorate or need to be disturbed during future repairs. Even worse, drilling into those old boards to fix the new plastic releases dangerous fibres directly into the air around your windows and doors. We always recommend doing the job properly. By removing the asbestos fascias and guttering entirely, you're not just improving your home's look; you're protecting its long-term value and ensuring the safety of anyone working on your roof in the future.

You might be wondering what actually happens when we turn up to remove your old guttering or soffits. We don't just dive in. Because this work often falls under the category of NNLW (Notifiable Non-Licensed Work), we follow strict HSE guidelines to the letter. Our team arrives fully equipped with specialized RPE that has been Face Fit tested to ensure a perfect seal. We carefully wet down the materials to prevent dust from flying, then dismantle the sections with minimal breakage. Every piece is double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene and labelled before being moved. We take all the waste to a licensed facility, and most importantly, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is your legal proof that the hazardous waste was disposed of correctly, giving you total peace of mind that you're fully compliant with the law.
