Asbestos removal near Fratton
Asbestos removal near Fratton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Fratton, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that is needed.

Typical removal jobs in Fratton
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In a school like Penhale Infant School & Nursery, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- The method and controls
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.

Removing asbestos around Fratton
Fratton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Fratton has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Fratton is one of 19 places in Portsmouth where we work. Our area stretches from Fratton to Southampton (about 16 miles away).

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Fratton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
