About our asbestos removal in Itchen Abbas
In homes, in Itchen Abbas as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about old waste on site and asbestos garages, including cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Itchen Abbas, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Itchen Abbas
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like Itchen Abbas Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
Questions from Itchen Abbas
Do you cover small places like Itchen Abbas?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Itchen Abbas homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
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 the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Domestic and commercial work
