Asbestos removal near Horton Heath
How asbestos removal works in Horton Heath
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about loft water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Properties in towns and villages like Horton Heath with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Horton Heath by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Horton Heath questions
Is asbestos common in Horton Heath homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Horton Heath from London?
We cover Horton Heath, about 64 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in Horton Heath?
Yes, Horton Heath is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Asbestos removal in Horton Heath: local notes
Horton Heath is about 2 miles south-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Properties in Horton Heath range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Horton Heath is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work.
At a school such as Fair Oak Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. For rentals close to Hedge End station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Horton Heath is within about 6 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For businesses and landlords in Horton Heath
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Typical removal jobs in Horton Heath
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Horton Heath, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
