How asbestos removal works in Havant
In homes, in Havant as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From Artex ceilings before renovation and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
Houses and local businesses around Havant may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Havant is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote

Your options compared

Common reasons for removal jobs in Havant
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Trosnant Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Havant
Do you work near Havant station?
Yes. Havant station is about 0.6 miles south of Havant, and we cover both.
Do you cover Havant from London?
Havant is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Havant, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
