Asbestos removal near Buttsole

In homes, in Buttsole as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we cover cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks.

In Buttsole, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Things not to do

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Duty holders and landlords in Buttsole

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.

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

What it might be made of

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Floor tiles

The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Weighing up your options

Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Why us?

  • Across London and the South East
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • Houses, flats and business premises

See how we quote and the cost guide.

What it costs

What drives the price:

  • Disposal costs
  • Parking and access charges
  • The quantity or area
  • Access to the area

Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What to photograph

  • An overall view
  • Visible markings

Where asbestos turns up

Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

These are some of the things we deal with in Buttsole:

  • Asbestos found during building work
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
  • Artex ceilings before renovation
  • Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

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

Before booking anyone

  • Which laboratory analyses samples
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
  • What paperwork you get

Common questions in Buttsole

Do you cover Buttsole from London?

We cover Buttsole, about 63 miles from central London.

Do you come out to small villages like Buttsole?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Where does the asbestos go?

It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Should you do it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
