Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
How asbestos removal works in Charlton
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and Artex before plastering.
Rural removal near Charlton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Asbestos removal in Charlton: local notes
Charlton is about 1 mile north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We work across Charlton and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Charlton is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our area stretches from Charlton to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
In older properties in Charlton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. At a school such as Harrow Way Community School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Questions from Charlton
Is asbestos common in Charlton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Charlton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Charlton, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Written quotes that say what’s included
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Typical removal jobs in Charlton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Charlton:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old cold water tanks
For rentals close to Andover station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
