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.

What else we do in Welborne
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Welborne:
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings scraped during DIY
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Fareham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
- Suitable insurance for the work
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- A picture of the whole area

Questions from Welborne
Do you cover Welborne and the area around Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 1.9 miles south of Welborne, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Welborne homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
