Asbestos removal near Wickham Common
How asbestos removal works in Wickham Common
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like Wickham Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What else we do in Wickham Common
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

For businesses and landlords in Wickham Common
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wickham Common, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Wickham Common, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Wickham Common is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let us know if something’s broken
