How asbestos removal works in Broadbridge

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Broadbridge falls into that category. From asbestos garages and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes and more.

In places like Broadbridge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.

Water tanks and flues

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

FAQs for Broadbridge

Do older homes in Broadbridge have asbestos?

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

How far is Broadbridge from London?

We cover Broadbridge, about 56 miles from central London.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

Do I need to be at home?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

What if my house is newer?

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

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Your options compared

Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
