Our asbestos removal in Hampshire

We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about Artex before plastering and cement water tanks in lofts.

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools.

Removing asbestos in Hampshire

Across Hampshire, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Basingstoke: In older properties in Basingstoke, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. In a school like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In winter, the light goes in Basingstoke by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

What we do and don’t cover

A few things to be aware of:

Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Options to consider in Hampshire

Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right.

Questions to ask before booking

Which laboratory analyses samples
For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Suitable insurance for the work

Responsibilities for owners

For managing agents and freeholders in Hampshire, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.

Water tanks and flues

Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.

After we’ve finished in Hampshire

Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.

Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Tell us about parking and access

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hampshire

Do you test before removing asbestos in Hampshire?

Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.

What if my house is newer?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Do I need to move out?

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
