Asbestos removal in Normans' Bay
About our asbestos removal in Normans' Bay
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In towns and villages like Normans' Bay, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What affects the price in Normans' Bay
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.

Questions from Normans' Bay
Do you work near Normans Bay station?
Yes. Normans Bay station is close to the centre of Normans' Bay, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Normans' Bay from London?
Normans' Bay is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
