We are here for all you Asbestos Service needs in Hampshire.
Asbestos was widely used in construction materials during the 1950s to the 1980s in the UK, and it's still present in many homes and buildings across the country. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are in good condition and not disturbed, it's generally safe to live and work around them. However, when ACMs are damaged or disturbed, they can release dangerous fibers into the air that can cause severe health problems, including mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the UK in construction materials because of its strength, durability, and fire-resistant properties. There are six types of asbestos minerals, but only three were used industrially in the UK: chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos).
Asbestos was used in a wide range of products, including ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, roofing shingles, cement, floor tiles, adhesives, and more. When these products age or are damaged, they can release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air that can be inhaled and accumulate in the lungs over time, leading to severe and life-threatening diseases.
Although the use of asbestos-containing materials was banned in the UK in 1999, it's still present in many properties built or refurbished before that date.
If you own a property built or refurbished before 2000, you have a legal duty to manage the asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present in it. If you're a landlord, a managing agent, or a builder, you have similar responsibilities.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 states that you must identify, assess, and manage asbestos in your property to prevent exposure to the dangerous fibers. You must also keep a record of the asbestos-containing materials, assess their condition regularly, and take appropriate action if you suspect they're damaged or disturbed.
If you're a landlord, you must provide your tenants with accurate information on the presence and condition of asbestos in the property, and you must ensure that they're not at risk of exposure. If you're a builder, you must take precautions to protect yourself and your workers from asbestos exposure while working on a site.
Many people wonder if the council is responsible for removing asbestos from their property. The answer is that it depends on the circumstances.
If you're a council tenant or live in a council-owned property, the council is responsible for safely managing and removing any asbestos-containing materials that may pose a health risk. They'll have a management plan in place to monitor and assess the ACMs and remove them when necessary.
If you're a private homeowner, the council is not responsible for removing asbestos from your property. You're responsible for managing and removing any ACMs in your property to prevent exposure to the dangerous fibers.
If you suspect that your property contains asbestos or you're not sure how to manage it, Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire can help. We offer a full range of asbestos-related services to homeowners, landlords, managing agents, and builders in Hampshire and the South East of England.
Our services include:
Our experienced team can sample and analyze any suspected ACMs in your property to confirm their presence, type, and level of risk. High-risk ACMs, such as sprayed asbestos coatings and asbestos insulation boards, require immediate removal, while lower risk ACMs, such as floor tiles and cement sheets, can often be managed in place without removal.
We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys to identify all ACMs present in your property, assess their condition, and provide you with a management plan to deal with them safely and legally. We offer both management surveys and refurbishment and demolition surveys, depending on your specific needs.
If you need asbestos removed from your property, our experienced and licensed team can safely and efficiently remove it without compromising the safety of you or your family, your tenants, or our workers. We use the latest removal techniques, equipment, and safety procedures to minimize the risk of fiber release and ensure that the area is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated.
We can create a tailored asbestos management plan that outlines how to manage ACMs in your property safely and effectively, including regular inspections, repairs, encapsulation, or removal. Our management plans are designed to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and provide you with peace of mind that your property is safe from asbestos exposure.
We provide a full range of asbestos safety equipment, including coveralls, respirators, gloves, and goggles, to ensure that our workers are protected from asbestos exposure during removal or management activities.
If you plan to remove or manage asbestos from your property, you must dispose of the ACMs safely and legally. Asbestos waste is classified as hazardous waste, and you must follow specific regulations when disposing of it.
Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire can help you dispose of your asbestos waste safely and legally. We'll provide you with a sealed container and arrange for licensed asbestos waste carriers to collect and dispose of the ACMs at a designated disposal site.
Asbestos-containing materials can't be recycled like other construction waste, and they must be disposed of according to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. However, some recycling centers in Hampshire may accept small-scale DIY asbestos waste, such as cement sheets or floor tiles, if they're double-bagged and labeled correctly. You must contact the recycling center beforehand to confirm their acceptance policies.
