Expert Contaminated Land Remediation in Wickham, Hampshire

Imagine you’ve just started digging the foundations for an extension and you come across suspicious-looking rubble or a strange chemical smell. It's a gut-sinking feeling, isn't it? Most homeowners and developers we speak to in Hampshire are worried about the health risks and the potential for huge planning delays. Whether it's heavy metals like lead and cadmium or hydrocarbons from an old petrol station, we’ve got the expertise to sort it. We carry out detailed site characterisation to see exactly what we’re dealing with. From there, we might use bioremediation to treat the soil or carefully excavate and remove it if the contamination is too deep. We'll find the most cost-effective way to get your project back on track without cutting corners on safety.

Asbestos is our bread and butter, but it isn't always found on roofs or in ceilings. Sadly, when old garages or sheds were demolished years ago, bits of asbestos cement or even AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board) often ended up mixed into the ground. It’s a hidden danger that can be released into the air as soon as you start landscaping. We specialise in identifying and removing these fragments safely. Following strict HSE guidelines and using the right PPE, we’ll clear the area and ensure no hazardous fibres are left behind to worry about later. It’s all about giving you total peace of mind that your garden or site is truly clean.

Turning an old industrial plot into something useful is brilliant for the local Wickham community, but the red tape can be a real headache. You’ll likely need a formal validation report for the planning department at Winchester City Council to prove the land is now safe. This document is your 'all-clear' certificate, and we handle the whole process to get you there. As licensed waste carriers, we manage the entire chain of custody, ensuring every bit of hazardous waste is tracked and disposed of at a licensed facility. We’ll provide all the paperwork you need to satisfy the regulators and keep your project moving forward without any nasty surprises.
