Asbestos removal for Winchfield Hurst properties
In homes, in Winchfield Hurst 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. Typical jobs include broken sheets in gardens and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Winchfield Hurst, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Winchfield Hurst: your questions answered
Could my house in Winchfield Hurst contain asbestos?
Any home in Winchfield Hurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Winchfield station?
Yes, we cover Winchfield Hurst and the area towards Winchfield station, about 0.9 miles west.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Responsibilities for owners
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.
For managing agents and freeholders in Winchfield Hurst, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
