Asbestos help in East Meon
Common questions in East Meon
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in East Meon contain asbestos?
Any home in East Meon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover East Meon?
Yes, East Meon is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Village homes like those in East Meon have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in East Meon, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
