Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For non-domestic buildings like North Baddesley Junior School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. 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.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Chilworth Old Village
Do older homes in Chilworth Old Village have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chilworth Old Village may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Chilworth Old Village?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
