Typical removal jobs in Hawthorn Hill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
In a school like Holyport College, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- What isn’t included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.

Hawthorn Hill: your questions answered
Do older homes in Hawthorn Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hawthorn Hill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Hawthorn Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
