Asbestos removal for Stubbles
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos removal in Stubbles
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Stubbles, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Weighing up your options

Questions from Stubbles
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Stubbles?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
After we have finished in Stubbles
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey

What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Stubbles
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Stubbles, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
