Asbestos removal for Norlington
About our asbestos removal in Norlington
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include old flues and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including water tanks, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Norlington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
If you let property near Lewes station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
