For businesses and landlords in Compton
If your business premises in Compton were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How asbestos removal works in Compton
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks, and people typically contact us about old flues and old cold water tanks.
Rural removal near Compton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Compton
Do you cover Compton and the area around Shawford station?
Yes, we cover Compton and the area towards Shawford station, about 0.5 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Compton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Compton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Compton?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
After we have finished in Compton
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
How we work
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Compton is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

What we deal with in Compton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Hampshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos found during building work
In older buildings across Compton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The documents you will receive
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
