Asbestos removal in Drayton
About our asbestos removal in Drayton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and old flues.
In a village like Drayton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Asbestos removal in Drayton: local notes
Drayton is about 5 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. In Drayton, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Drayton to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
Older buildings in Drayton, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. In a school like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 5 miles of Drayton; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
We cover removal jobs across GU32. Neighbouring places we cover include West Meon (2 miles west), Privett (3 miles north), Filmore Hill (3 miles north), Bailey Green (3 miles north) and West Tisted (4 miles north). We also cover nearby towns such as Winchester (12 miles west), Gosport (14 miles south), Havant (10 miles south), Eastleigh (13 miles west), Fareham (12 miles south-west) and Horndean (7 miles south).
A little further out are Clanfield Earthwork (4.8 miles south-east) and Petersfield Community Hospital (4.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Henwood Down and Shutts Copse.
- Local pubs include The George Inn (1 mile south-east)
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
See how we quote or the cost guide.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
Common reasons for removal jobs in Drayton
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
For rentals close to Petersfield station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Drayton: your questions answered
Do you cover Drayton and the area around Petersfield station?
Yes. Petersfield station is about 4.7 miles east of Drayton, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Drayton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.

What affects the price in Drayton
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
