For businesses and landlords in Ashton
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Bishops Waltham Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Common questions in Ashton
Do you cover Ashton and the area around Botley station?
Yes, we cover Ashton and the area towards Botley station, about 4 miles south-west.
How far is Ashton from London?
We cover Ashton, about 61 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
