Asbestos removal near Brown Candover

Your options compared

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Can I do it myself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

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.

What we deal with in Brown Candover

Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

These are some of the things we deal with in Brown Candover:

  • Old waste on site
  • Asbestos found during building work
  • Cement flues and gutters
  • Garage roof sheets

In older buildings across Brown Candover, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Before you book anyone

  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • The method and controls
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork
  • Whether VAT is included

Choosing an asbestos contractor

What’s included, and what is not

To be clear about the scope:

  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
  • Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.

The process

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. In winter, the light goes in Brown Candover by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
  3. A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
  4. We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
  5. Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

Preparing for the visit

Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
