About our asbestos removal in Headley Down
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
Homes in Headley Down with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Questions from Headley Down
Is asbestos common in Headley Down homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Headley Down can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Headley Down and the area towards Liphook station, about 3.4 miles south.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

So you know what to expect:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate

Duty holders and landlords in Headley Down
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
