DIY and asbestos

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Whether it’s finds during refurbishment and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.

Responsibilities for owners

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Weighing up your options

Why choose us

  • Identify first, remove only when needed
  • Clear written quotes
  • Waste paperwork for every removal
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Little Horsted: your questions answered

Do you cover small places like Little Horsted?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Do you work near Uckfield station?

Yes, we cover Little Horsted and the area towards Uckfield station, about 1.3 miles north.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Prices and what affects them

What drives the price:

  • Parking and access charges
  • Access to the area

Sending photos

What to photograph:

  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • A clear close-up
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

What it might be made of

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.

To avoid problems in future:

  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • File the consignment note
  • Let us know where we can park

Don’ts

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
