Asbestos removal in Marchwood
Doing 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. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How asbestos removal works in Marchwood
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and outbuildings with cement roofs, including water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like Marchwood, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Marchwood
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Finds during refurbishment
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Landlords near Millbrook (Hants) station often time removal for when a property is empty.

FAQs for Marchwood
Do older homes in Marchwood have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Marchwood can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes. Millbrook (Hants) station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Marchwood, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Good to know

- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
