About our asbestos removal in Artington

Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets.

In Artington, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Which option is right?

DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

FAQs for Artington

Is asbestos common in Artington homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Artington can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Common materials

Gutters and downpipes
Garage and shed roofs

More about this service

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Afterwards

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

Some practical advice:

Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Let us know where we can park
File the consignment note
Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Avoid these

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

The process

We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. We plan outdoor jobs in Artington to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
