Asbestos removal in East Hampnett
Responsibilities for owners
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in East Hampnett must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Looking after things afterwards

Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Common questions in East Hampnett
Is asbestos common in East Hampnett homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Hampnett can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover East Hampnett and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 2.8 miles south-east of East Hampnett, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
