How asbestos removal works in Bramber

In homes, in Bramber as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.

In a village like Bramber, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

After we’ve finished in Bramber

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Share any survey or test results

What to avoid

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

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Responsibilities for owners

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you manage or own a block in Bramber, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Weighing up your options

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common questions in Bramber

Is asbestos common in Bramber homes?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you come out to small villages like Bramber?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Do you work in Bramber?

Yes, Bramber is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices vary with:

  • Material and condition
  • How much waste there is
  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • The size of the job

Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Typical removal jobs in Bramber

Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.

These come up again and again:

  • Artex before plastering
  • Garage roof sheets
  • Cement flues and gutters
  • Loft water tanks

In older properties in Bramber, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

What your quote should include

  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • The scope of the job, in writing
