Asbestos help in Durrants
Asbestos removal for Durrants properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving flue pipes, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In Durrants, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Durrants
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Durrants contain asbestos?
If your home in Durrants was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
