Asbestos removal for Oakhanger
After we’ve finished in Oakhanger
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Oakhanger
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Old flues
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Older buildings in Oakhanger, near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

FAQs for Oakhanger
Do older homes in Oakhanger have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Oakhanger can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes, we cover Oakhanger and the area towards Alton station, about 3.8 miles north-west.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
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 work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Oakhanger must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
