Brighton and Hove: your questions answered
Could my house in Brighton and Hove contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Brighton and Hove from London?
We cover Brighton and Hove, about 46 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Brighton and Hove
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you’re on or near the A270 and A293, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before you book
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. We plan outdoor jobs in Brighton and Hove to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
