Asbestos removal in Fernham
Found asbestos during building work in Fernham? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roofs and whole garages, involving gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Fernham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Fernham questions
Could my house in Fernham contain asbestos?
If your home in Fernham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Fernham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Duty holders and landlords in Fernham
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Fernham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

What affects the price in Fernham
When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
