Duty holders and landlords in Hoe Gate
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Hoe Gate
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer

Hoe Gate questions
Do you cover small places like Hoe Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Hoe Gate and the area around Portchester station?
Yes, we cover Hoe Gate and the area towards Portchester station, about 4.5 miles south.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Why people call us in Hoe Gate
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
For rented flats close to Portchester station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
