About our asbestos removal in Kemptown
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
Homes in Kemptown with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Kemptown, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Kemptown
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Kemptown questions
Do you work near Brighton station?
Yes. Brighton station is about 1.3 miles north-west of Kemptown, and we cover both.
Do you cover Kemptown from London?
We cover Kemptown, about 47 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Kemptown?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
