East Lavant questions
Do older homes in East Lavant have asbestos?
Any home in East Lavant built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in East Lavant has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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.

These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Doing 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.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
