What else we do in Cocking Causeway
Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
Could my house in Cocking Causeway contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Cocking Causeway can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Cocking Causeway?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Why people call us in Cocking Causeway
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
In a school like Midhurst CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
