Asbestos removal for Lower Upham
Why people call us in Lower Upham
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Old cold water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Lower Upham, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Lower Upham: your questions answered
Could my house in Lower Upham contain asbestos?
Any home in Lower Upham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hedge End station?
Yes. Hedge End station is about 3.4 miles south-west of Lower Upham, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you cover Lower Upham?
Yes. We cover Lower Upham and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
