Denmead: your questions answered
How far is Denmead from London?
Denmead is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Denmead contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Denmead?
Yes. We cover Denmead and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
How can I get a price?
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.
After the job
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
Some practical advice:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we deal with in Denmead
The risk usually comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. Testing first avoids that.
These come up again and again:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Porch canopies
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Results builders ask for before work
If the property is on or near the B2150, tell us about parking, as stopping on main roads can be restricted.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
