DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Golden Cross
Do you cover small places like Golden Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
