Old Portsmouth removal detailsOld Portsmouth Asbestos Project Examples
18th Century Townhouse at The Point
We recently completed a comprehensive asbestos survey and selective removal in a Grade II listed townhouse near The Point undergoing sensitive restoration. Our Old Portsmouth team identified multiple asbestos-containing materials from various eras, including Victorian pipe insulation in the cellar, 1950s floor tiles in service areas, and 1970s textured coatings in later modifications.

Old Portsmouth Asbestos FAQs
How do you handle listed buildings in Old Portsmouth?
Working with Old Portsmouth's significant number of listed buildings requires specialized approaches. We coordinate closely with Portsmouth City Council's conservation team and Historic England when necessary, particularly for Grade I and II listed properties. Our methodology emphasizes minimally invasive techniques and focuses on preserving historic fabric while ensuring safety. We document all findings meticulously and can assist with any necessary listed building consent applications related to asbestos management.
What asbestos risks are common in Spice Island's former maritime buildings?
Spice Island's historic maritime and naval buildings present unique asbestos challenges. These structures often contain unusual industrial/maritime asbestos applications including specialized pipe lagging, heat shields, and fire protection systems specific to their original functions. Additionally, the harsh maritime environment can accelerate deterioration of some asbestos materials, potentially increasing risk. Our surveyors are specifically trained to identify these specialized applications in former naval and maritime buildings.
How do you manage access constraints in Old Portsmouth?
Old Portsmouth's narrow historic streets, restricted parking, and pedestrianized areas present significant logistical challenges. We utilize specialized compact equipment where necessary, schedule work during optimal periods (avoiding major events and peak tourist seasons when possible), and coordinate closely with local authorities for essential access permits. For particularly challenging locations on Spice Island or The Point, we develop customized access strategies incorporating factors such as tides, ferry operations, and historic street layouts.
