After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Why people call us in Ovington
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
Older buildings in Ovington, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- How fibres will be kept down
- The documents you’ll receive
- If the price includes VAT
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Ovington
For managing agents and freeholders in Ovington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
FAQs for Ovington
Do you come out to small villages like Ovington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Ovington homes?
Any home in Ovington 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 need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
