Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Common questions in Lindfield

We cover Lindfield, about 34 miles from central London.
Do you work near Haywards Heath station?
Yes, we cover Lindfield and the area towards Haywards Heath station, about 1.1 miles south-west.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

For landlords, agents and businesses
