Questions from Chawton
Is asbestos common in Chawton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chawton and the area around Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Chawton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chawton?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Chawton by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Chawton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
In a school like Chawton Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What isn’t included
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results

- Clear advice on your options

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Our quotes take into account:
- How many samples are needed
