Asbestos removal in Bachelor's Bump
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Common materials are floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks, and people normally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and old cold water tanks.
In areas like Bachelor's Bump, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Typical removal jobs in Bachelor's Bump
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
For non-domestic buildings like The Hastings Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Bachelor's Bump to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
