Asbestos removal near Chithurst

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Chithurst

Common situations in older properties include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Stedham Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

FAQs for Chithurst
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes. Liphook station is about 4.9 miles north of Chithurst, and we cover both.
Could my house in Chithurst contain asbestos?
Any home in Chithurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you cover Chithurst?
Yes. We cover Chithurst and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
