Asbestos help in Thursley
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: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos removal in Thursley
In homes, in Thursley as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and asbestos garages.
In a village like Thursley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Questions from Thursley
Do older homes in Thursley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Thursley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Thursley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
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.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
After we’ve finished in Thursley
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
