What it might be made of

Bitumen and felt

Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.

Floor tiles

Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.

About our asbestos removal in Picket Piece

Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and floor tiles before a new floor.

Homes in Picket Piece with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can

Picket Piece: your questions answered

Do you cover Picket Piece from London?

We cover Picket Piece, about 61 miles from central London.

Could my house in Picket Piece contain asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

When can you start?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Choosing the right option

What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Why people choose us

  • Reports and results you can share
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • Houses, flats and business premises
  • Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

DIY and asbestos

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.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Picket Piece

Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may contain it.

These come up again and again:

  • Asbestos garages
  • Artex before plastering
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
  • Old cold water tanks

If you let property near Andover station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
