Southampton was hit hard during the Blitz, and a huge portion of the city’s housing stock was rebuilt or expanded between the late 1940s and the 1970s. That timing matters, because if your Southampton home was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos. It was used in everything from garage roof panels and artex ceilings to floor tiles and pipe insulation, and it was not fully banned in the UK until 1999.
Disturbing damaged materials during refurbishment or renovation can cause fibre release, which is linked to serious illnesses, including mesothelioma, a cancer responsible for around 2,500 deaths in the UK every year.
Whether you are a homeowner planning renovations, a landlord meeting your legal obligations or in the middle of a property sale, our expert team will get the job done safely, quickly and with full documentation so you can move forward without the worry.
Asbestos is still present in a huge number of commercial properties across Southampton and the risks are real. The city’s industrial heritage, from the docks and port facilities through to the post-war commercial buildings that fill the city centre, means asbestos containing materials remain in countless workplaces, industrial sites and public buildings.
The Health and Safety Executive estimates that around 5,000 people die each year from asbestos-related diseases, many of which are traced back to workplace exposure in offices, industrial properties, schools and healthcare facilities. For commercial property managers, builders and business owners, getting this wrong is not just a health risk, it is a legal one.
Meyer Southern provides a full range of asbestos services for commercial buildings of all sizes, from initial survey and risk assessments through to safe removal, certified disposal of asbestos and method statements, all carried out to the highest safety standards and with the least possible disruption to your working day.

Here is exactly what happens when you work with us:
Every project kicks off with a full asbestos survey, or a review of any existing reports you already have to hand. Where it's needed, our asbestos surveyors collect material samples and send them off to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis, so we know exactly what we're dealing with before work starts.
Our highly trained operatives turn up fully kitted out with PPE and specialist tools, applying controlled techniques to strip out asbestos-containing materials without any fibre release. We cover your floors, furniture and fittings throughout, set up enclosures and negative pressure units where required, and carefully wrap and secure every ACM before transporting them away for safe disposal.
Every piece of asbestos waste is double-bagged, labelled and fully documented in line with environmental compliance regulations before being safely transported to licensed hazardous waste facilities under our waste carrier licence. You'll receive a full waste consignment note and complete paperwork proving every stage of the disposal process was handled correctly and compliantly.
We don't just take out the asbestos and walk away. Once the work is finished, we carry out a thorough clean-up across the entire area, and can arrange independent air monitoring or visual inspection if needed, giving you full regulatory compliance and confidence that your property is completely safe.
Asbestos is not something you can afford to ignore.
Whether you have just discovered a damaged material in your home, are preparing a property for refurbishment, or need to meet your legal obligations as a landlord or commercial property manager, the longer you leave it, the greater the risk.
Meyer Southern’s team is ready to act fast, with rapid response times, competitive rates and a five-star Checkatrade rating that speaks for itself.
We handle everything from initial survey through to certified disposal of asbestos, so you never have to worry about what comes next.

Asbestos becomes dangerous when its fibres are released into the air, which can happen when asbestos containing materials are disturbed, damaged, or deteriorating. Once inhaled, those fibres can lodge permanently in the lungs and over time cause serious illnesses including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.
The Health and Safety Executive and safety executive bodies across the asbestos industry are clear that there is no safe level of asbestos exposure, which is why professional asbestos management and legal removal by fully licensed contractors is so important. If you have damaged materials in your property, do not attempt any DIY removal yourself.

Yes, and they are not something to take lightly. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone responsible for maintaining a non domestic property has a legal duty to manage asbestos on site. This includes commercial buildings, public buildings, industrial properties, and even communal areas in residential buildings.
For homeowners, the regulations are less prescriptive but the health and safety risks are just as real. Whether you are a landlord, a commercial property manager, or a homeowner planning renovations, Meyer Southern’s team can advise you on your obligations and provide the asbestos solutions you need to stay safe and compliant.
Our asbestos removal process is thorough, fully documented, and designed to cause as little disruption as possible. It begins with an initial survey and asbestos sampling, with all samples sent to a UKAS accredited laboratory for testing.
From there we carry out detailed risk assessments, prepare method statements, and our trained operatives undertake the safe removal using specialist equipment including negative pressure units and full containment measures to prevent any fibre release.
All asbestos waste is then double bagged, labelled, and safely transported to licensed facilities for certified final waste disposal, with a full waste consignment note and documentation provided to you on completion.
Depending on the materials involved, work may be undertaken as licensed asbestos removal or non licensed asbestos removal, and all licensed projects include the required 14 day notification to the HSE. Some lower risk jobs fall under notifiable non licensed work, which we handle to the same high standards.
We understand that asking you to vacate your home or shut down your business is not always practical, and our team goes to great lengths to minimise disruption throughout every job.
We use protective coverings to safeguard your floors, furniture, and fittings, deploy enclosures and negative pressure units to contain the work area, and close off only the sections of your property that are directly affected.
Our project management team will liaise with you at every stage to ensure the work is undertaken with the least possible impact on your daily life or business operations.
We also operate a 24 hour emergency service for situations involving accidentally damaged materials or urgent asbestos abatement requirements.
In most cases, yes. An asbestos survey is the essential first step in any responsible asbestos management plan and our qualified asbestos surveyors are trained to BOHS P402 standard or higher.
The survey allows us to identify the location, type, and condition of any asbestos containing materials in your property before any removal or refurbishment work begins. We provide a full asbestos report on completion of every survey, which documents all findings and forms the basis of your asbestos management plan going forward.
Our asbestos surveyors hold all the necessary qualifications and accreditations to carry out comprehensive asbestos surveys across domestic, commercial and industrial properties throughout Southampton.
Our asbestos surveyors carry out both asbestos management surveys and refurbishment or demolition asbestos surveys depending on the nature of your project.
During asbestos sampling, our team takes material samples from suspected asbestos containing materials and sends them to a UKAS accredited laboratory for full analysis and UKAS accredited laboratory testing. This testing confirms the presence, type, and condition of any asbestos, whether that is asbestos cement sheets, asbestos floor tiles, insulating boards, or materials found within heating systems and water tanks.
The results of this testing directly inform our risk assessments and the scope of any subsequent asbestos removal work, ensuring everything is undertaken safely, professionally and in full compliance with current health and safety regulations.
The cost of asbestos removal in Southampton depends on several factors including the type of material, the size of the property, the volume of asbestos-containing materials present and whether the work requires licensed or non licensed asbestos removal.
Rather than give you a vague ballpark figure, we prefer to assess each job individually so that the quote you receive is accurate, transparent, and competitive. Our rates are among the most affordable offered by any professional asbestos removal contractors in the surrounding area, and we never compromise on safety or quality to get there.
