Asbestos removal in Catherington
How asbestos removal works in Catherington
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a village like Catherington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Catherington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Catherington properties and asbestos removal
Catherington is about 2 miles north of Horndean, in Hampshire. In Catherington, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We work in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 17 miles away.
For non-domestic buildings like Catherington Church of England Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Catherington, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 7 miles of Catherington; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

- Nearby schools include Horndean Technology College (1.2 miles south)
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The survey scope
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
