About our asbestos removal in Upper Common
In homes, in Upper Common 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, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and textured coatings.
In places like Upper Common, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Upper Common were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For rentals close to Basingstoke station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas and materials are covered

Upper Common questions
Do you cover small places like Upper Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Upper Common from London?
We cover Upper Common, about 48 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
