Asbestos help in Haywards Heath

Asbestos removal in Haywards Heath

After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.

Homes and small businesses in towns and villages like Haywards Heath may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

More about this service

How we price asbestos removal

We base our quote on:

  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • The size of the job
  • How much waste there is
  • Licensed or non-licensed

Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Helping us quote

For a quick quote, include:

  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Helpful guides

Looking after things afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Share any survey or test results

Things not to do

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

For managing agents and freeholders in Haywards Heath, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

  • Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
  • Broken sheets in gardens
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive

In older properties in Haywards Heath, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Common questions in Haywards Heath

Do older homes in Haywards Heath have asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Haywards Heath may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How far is Haywards Heath from London?

We cover Haywards Heath, about 35 miles from central London.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

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.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

What paperwork will I get?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

What it might be made of

Floor tiles

The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Insulating board and lagging

That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
