Asbestos removal for Selborne
Asbestos removal in Selborne
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s old waste on site and old cold water tanks, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In areas like Selborne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Selborne properties and asbestos removal
Selborne is about 4 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. Selborne is within our Hampshire area, for removal jobs of every size. Selborne is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Selborne to Guildford (19 miles away).
At a school such as Selborne Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Selborne, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 7 miles of Selborne. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Questions from Selborne
Do older homes in Selborne have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Selborne may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Selborne?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
