Holybourne: your questions answered
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes, we cover Holybourne and the area towards Alton station, about 1.2 miles south-west.
Is asbestos common in Holybourne homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do you cover Holybourne?
Yes. We cover Holybourne and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:

- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area

Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Reports and results you can share
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Take a look at how we quote and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The method and controls
- What is not included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Holybourne must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. Late-December sunset in Holybourne is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
