Asbestos removal in Berwick
About our asbestos removal in Berwick
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Berwick can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

How it works
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Berwick to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos garages
If you let property near Berwick (Sussex) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
