How asbestos removal works in Mountfield
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In a village like Mountfield, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Mountfield questions
Do you cover small places like Mountfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in Mountfield?
Yes, Mountfield is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Typical removal jobs in Mountfield
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
At a school such as Vinehall School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
