Questions from Glyndebourne
Do you cover Glyndebourne from London?
Glyndebourne is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Glyndebourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Work done to the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Glyndebourne were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
