How asbestos removal works in Oliver's Battery
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and old cold water tanks, involving floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Oliver's Battery can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Oliver's Battery
Do older homes in Oliver's Battery have asbestos?
Any home in Oliver's Battery built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Oliver's Battery from London?
We cover Oliver's Battery, about 63 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you cover Oliver's Battery?
Yes, we do: Oliver's Battery is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.

Responsibilities for owners

Why people call us in Oliver's Battery
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Oliver's Battery, near Saint Mark's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
