In areas like Thakeham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Thakeham:
- Old cold water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older properties in Thakeham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Thakeham
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Thakeham from London?
We cover Thakeham, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Thakeham?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- No removal until we know what it is

What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Thakeham, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Outdoor removal in Thakeham is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
