For businesses and landlords in Wherwell
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How asbestos removal works in Wherwell
Asbestos removal in Wherwell covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and old flues, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In Wherwell, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Wherwell: your questions answered
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Wherwell and the area towards Andover station, about 3.7 miles north-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Wherwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be there?

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’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How it works
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Wherwell is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures

- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
