Asbestos removal near Worthy Down
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In towns and villages like Worthy Down, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Worthy Down
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like South Wonston Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Worthy Down questions
Do you cover Worthy Down and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Worthy Down and the area towards Winchester station, about 3.2 miles south.
Is asbestos common in Worthy Down homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Worthy Down can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Worthy Down?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
