Typical removal jobs in South Ham
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Hampshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older buildings across South Ham, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Your questions about asbestos removal in South Ham
Do older homes in South Ham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover South Ham and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 1.2 miles north-east of South Ham, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in South Ham?
Yes, we do: South Ham is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
After we’ve finished in South Ham
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
