Asbestos removal in Palestine
In homes, in Palestine as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and materials found mid-project.
In towns and villages like Palestine, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Palestine
Do you cover Palestine and the area around Grateley station?
Yes. Grateley station is close to the centre of Palestine, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Palestine contain asbestos?
If your home in Palestine was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you cover Palestine?
Yes, we do: Palestine is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Grateley Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
