Common questions in Calshot
Do you cover Calshot and the area around Hamble station?
Yes. Hamble station is about 4.1 miles north of Calshot, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Calshot homes?
Any home in Calshot built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Calshot?
Yes, we do: our area includes Calshot and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
- Where we could park

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
