What we deal with in Lower Common
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
- Old cold water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

After we have finished in Lower Common
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- The parking area
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
