Asbestos removal near Blackfield
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
Homes in Blackfield with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Blackfield
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blackfield must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Blackfield questions
Do you cover Blackfield and the area around Hamble station?
Yes. Hamble station is about 4.1 miles north-east of Blackfield, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Blackfield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Blackfield may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.

Questions to ask before you book

After we’ve finished in Blackfield

Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these

What else we do in Blackfield
Blackfield properties and asbestos removal
Blackfield is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Blackfield has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Blackfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.
In older buildings across Blackfield, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. At a school such as Blackfield Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 4 miles of Blackfield; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of Blackfield, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
