Asbestos Removal in Hampshire

Asbestos removal in Hampshire: what to expect

Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.

  1. Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
  2. We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
  3. We quote in writing, including the waste
  4. On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
  5. Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

Asbestos removal across Hampshire

Removal jobs across Hampshire range from garage roofs in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to barns and outbuildings in 538 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. 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: On busy roads like the A30 and A33, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. In older buildings across Basingstoke, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. We plan outdoor jobs in Basingstoke to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.

A closer look at the materials

Textured coatings

We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

What affects the price in Hampshire

Prices vary with:

  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • The size of the job
  • Parking and access charges

There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What to photograph

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • Cracks or breaks
  • A picture of the whole area
  • An idea of size
  • Visible markings

Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

The scope of asbestos removal

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:

  • Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

Afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • File the consignment note
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Share any survey or test results

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Choosing the right option

Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.

What to look for in a quote

  • How fibres will be kept down
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • Which laboratory analyses samples
  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

Hampshire: your questions answered

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Can asbestos be left in place?

It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do you test before removing asbestos in Hampshire?

If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

What does licensed work mean?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.
