What it might be made of

Asbestos cement

Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.

Insulating board and lagging

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

Step by step

Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Flowers Green by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Get in touch with the details of the job
  2. We work out what category the work falls into
  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

Why people call us in Flowers Green

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:

  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Garage roof sheets
  • Artex ceilings before renovation

In older buildings across Flowers Green, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Choosing an asbestos contractor

For landlords, agents and businesses

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Prices and what affects them

We base our quote on:

  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • What the material is and its state
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Travel and parking

There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Sending photos

Photo tips:

  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The access route
  • A rough size or measurement
  • Visible markings

Questions from Flowers Green

Is asbestos common in Flowers Green homes?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you cover Flowers Green and the area around Pevensey Bay station?

Yes. Pevensey Bay station is about 4.4 miles south of Flowers Green, and we cover both.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Looking after things afterwards

Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.

Some practical advice:

  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Photos of the material and the route in help
  • Tell us about parking and access

Avoid these

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Should you do it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

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

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
