Asbestos help in Lordington
How asbestos removal works in Lordington
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. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about old cold water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor.
In a village like Lordington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Lordington: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Lordington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Lordington have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What happens

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we deal with in Lordington
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos found during building work
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Lordington, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- The method and controls
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
