How asbestos removal works in Cowesfield Gate
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From debris left from a previous job and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Cowesfield Gate, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Cowesfield Gate
Is asbestos common in Cowesfield Gate homes?
Any home in Cowesfield Gate 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.
Do you work near Dean station?
Yes, we cover Cowesfield Gate and the area towards Dean station, about 2.4 miles north-west.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cowesfield Gate, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we deal with in Cowesfield Gate
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
If you let property near Dean station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Comparing quotes
- Whether VAT is included

- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
