Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Common questions in Winchfield Hurst
Is asbestos common in Winchfield Hurst homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Winchfield Hurst can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Winchfield Hurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
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 ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
