What we deal with in Buriton

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

People generally contact us about one of these:

  • Garage roof sheets
  • Old flues
  • Broken sheets in gardens
  • Floor tiles before a new floor

For non-domestic buildings like Buriton Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Before booking anyone

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Asbestos removal for Buriton properties

Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Common materials are flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about old cold water tanks and finds during refurbishment.

Rural removal near Buriton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

How we work

Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. We plan outdoor jobs in Buriton to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
  3. We book the work and notify if required
  4. We set up the work area and remove the material
  5. The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Warn neighbours if needed
  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Dig out previous surveys

Duty holders and landlords in Buriton

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.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Looking after things afterwards

Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

Going forward:

  • Let us know where we can park
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them

Don’ts

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Common questions in Buriton

Do older homes in Buriton have asbestos?

Any home in Buriton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Will I get the price in writing?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

What does removal cost?

There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Good to know

We’re upfront about what’s included:

  • Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

DIY and asbestos

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

What it might be made of

Water tanks and flues

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

Textured coatings

Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

Choosing the right option

Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
