Asbestos Disposal Basingstoke

Licensed asbestos disposal across Basingstoke, Chineham, Brighton Hill, Old Basing, Tadley and all RG postcodes. Skip hire, RoRo and van collection with transparent pricing and full Duty of Care paperwork.

Asbestos disposal across Basingstoke and district

Basingstoke expanded enormously as a London overspill town from the late 1950s through the 1970s — which places a very large share of its housing squarely in the peak asbestos decades. Estates across Popley, Buckskin, Brighton Hill, South Ham and Winklebury date from exactly the period when asbestos cement, insulating board, Artex and pipe lagging were standard. Garage roofs, soffits, flue pipes, textured ceilings and old boilers in these properties commonly contain asbestos that needs safe, legal disposal.

The Waste Group provides licensed asbestos disposal across Basingstoke and the RG postcode range, fulfilled through our accredited national disposal partner. Depending on quantity you can book van collection for small domestic jobs, an asbestos skip for medium jobs, or a RoRo for larger commercial clearances.

Do you need asbestos removal or asbestos disposal?

These are two different services and the difference matters:

Asbestos removal means stripping asbestos out of a building. For most asbestos types this must be done by an HSE-licensed removal contractor. We do not provide this service.
Asbestos disposal means taking away asbestos that has already been removed, bagged or wrapped. This is what we do.

If you have loose garage roof sheets, broken ceiling tiles, bags of material from a roofer, or an old boiler flue that has already been taken out — you need disposal. Call us on 01202 247716.

Asbestos skip hire in Basingstoke

Asbestos skip hire suits medium-sized jobs — tradespeople clearing a domestic project, commercial property owners, landlords working through multiple garages, or builders on an extension or conversion. Asbestos skips are supplied sealed and compliant with hazardous waste regulations, and collected directly for licensed disposal.

6 yard open asbestos skip — small to medium loads such as a single garage roof strip.
12 yard open asbestos skip — larger domestic clearances or a small commercial job.
16 yard enclosed asbestos skip — fully enclosed, recommended for roadside or commercial sites.

All sizes include 2 tonnes of asbestos waste.

16 yard enclosed	Up to 2 tonnes	£2,240
Excess tonnage	Per tonne	£410

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos skip hire quote.

Asbestos RoRo hire in Basingstoke

Roll-on roll-off containers suit larger asbestos clearances — demolition projects, multi-property landlord clearances, and the extensive commercial and distribution units around Chineham, Houndmills and Daneshill. RoRos need good vehicle access, which those estates offer.

20 yard open RoRo — medium-to-large loads where an open-top container works on site.
40 yard open RoRo — the largest commercial and demolition jobs.
35 yard enclosed RoRo — fully enclosed, required for some site permits.

All RoRo sizes include 3 tonnes of asbestos waste.

Asbestos van collection for Basingstoke homeowners

Van collection is the right option for smaller domestic jobs — a couple of garage roof sheets, an old Artex ceiling stash, a removed boiler flue, or a few bags left by a roofer. You package the asbestos to specification, we send a van to your Basingstoke address, our driver loads it, and you receive your Waste Consignment Note.

How it works

Package the asbestos. Whole sheets (max 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg each) wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene. Smaller pieces double-bagged in red asbestos bags, max 15kg per bag.
Book the collection. Call 01202 247716 with your item count and postcode. We confirm a collection day, usually within 3 to 5 working days.
Driver collects. Our driver loads the material and issues your Waste Consignment Note on the spot.
Licensed disposal. Transported under ADR regulations to a licensed hazardous waste facility.

Asbestos van collection Basingstoke — prices

Per sheet or wrap (20–25 kg)	£22.35

Typical Basingstoke van collection costs

Large double garage roof — 20 sheets wrapped: £353 + (20 × £22.35) + £50 = £850 inc VAT

How to prepare asbestos safely for collection

Asbestos must be packaged correctly before our driver arrives. This protects you, our driver, and anyone handling the waste at the disposal facility.

Do not break sheets or sand surfaces — keep material intact. Broken edges release fibres.
Wrap whole sheets in 1000-gauge polythene. Standard sheets are 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg.
Double-bag smaller pieces in red asbestos bags, max 15kg.
Label clearly with asbestos warning markings.
Dampen material lightly to reduce dust. Do not soak it.
Wear proper PPE — disposable coveralls, FFP3 mask, gloves, goggles.
If you are not confident handling it, hire a licensed removal contractor. We will dispose of what they bag.

For detailed guidance see the HSE asbestos essentials guide.

Can a Basingstoke recycling centre take your asbestos?

Hampshire County Council accepts small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos at some — but not all — of its household waste recycling centres, and by booking only. Because not every site takes it, you need to check and book before travelling.

When you will need a licensed collection instead

You have non-bonded asbestos — Artex, pipe lagging, AIB, boiler insulation or floor tiles. The Hampshire sites will not take these; we will. This matters in Basingstoke, where 1960s–70s housing often has Artex and insulating board rather than plain cement sheet.
You have more than the per-visit limit — a full garage roof will exceed it.
Your nearest site doesn’t take asbestos, or you don’t want to transport hazardous waste yourself.
The waste is from a commercial property, a rental you let out, or any income-generating work.

Asbestos disposal Basingstoke — frequently asked questions

How much does asbestos disposal cost in Basingstoke?

Basingstoke falls within our Zone 5 pricing area. Van collection starts at £353 transport plus £22.35 per sheet or £11.05 per bag. An asbestos skip (6, 12 or 16 yard) is £2,240 inc VAT including up to 2 tonnes, and a RoRo is £2,650 inc VAT including 3 tonnes. Every job includes the Waste Consignment Note. Call 01202 247716 for a fixed quote.

Can I take asbestos to a recycling centre near Basingstoke?

Hampshire County Council accepts small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos at some — but not all — of its recycling centres, by booking only and within strict quantity limits. Non-bonded types such as Artex, pipe lagging and insulation are not accepted, and you must transport the sealed material there yourself. Because not every site takes it, check and book first.

My house is a 1960s or 70s build — how likely is asbestos?

Fairly likely. Basingstoke expanded rapidly from the late 1950s to the 1970s, exactly when asbestos cement, insulating board, Artex textured coatings and pipe lagging were standard building materials. Common locations are garage and outbuilding roofs, soffits and gutters, textured ceilings, boiler flues and airing-cupboard lagging. Anything intact and undisturbed is generally low risk — the risk comes when it is broken or worked on.

Can I put asbestos in a regular skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must never be mixed with general waste. If asbestos is found in a standard skip, the whole load is treated as hazardous and charged at hazardous waste rates. Asbestos must go in a sealed asbestos skip or be collected by van, always with a Waste Consignment Note.

Do I need a licence to dispose of asbestos from my own home?

Householders do not need a waste carrier licence to dispose of asbestos from their own property, but the disposal itself must go through a licensed carrier and be accompanied by a Waste Consignment Note. Our service provides both, so your disposal is fully documented and legal.

How quickly can you collect asbestos in Basingstoke?

Most van collections in Basingstoke can be booked within 3 to 5 working days. Skip and RoRo deliveries typically take 2 to 3 working days from booking. Call 01202 247716 to check current availability.
