How asbestos removal works in Lovedean
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and debris left from a previous job.
In a village like Lovedean, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Questions from Lovedean
Do you cover small places like Lovedean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Rowlands Castle station?
Yes. Rowlands Castle station is about 3.3 miles south-east of Lovedean, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Lovedean
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Textured coatings
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
If you let property near Rowlands Castle station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
