Stonehills questions
Is asbestos common in Stonehills homes?
Any home in Stonehills built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Stonehills and the area around Hamble station?
Yes, we cover Stonehills and the area towards Hamble station, about 3.3 miles north.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Stonehills?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

- Artex before plastering
- Outbuildings with cement roofs

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After we’ve finished in Stonehills
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
