Hollingdean questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Hollingdean and the area around Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, we cover Hollingdean and the area towards Moulsecoomb station, about 0.5 miles east.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
