What we deal with in Hambrook
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hambrook:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
For non-domestic buildings like Chidham Parochial Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Hambrook questions
Do you cover Hambrook and the area around Nutbourne station?
Yes. Nutbourne station is about 0.6 miles south of Hambrook, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Hambrook have asbestos?
Any home in Hambrook built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
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.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
