After the job

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

Going forward:

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Tell us about any previous survey

What to avoid

Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

Questions from Northbridge Street

Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Is asbestos common in Northbridge Street homes?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

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, which is why it’s identified before work.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can you help a business or landlord?

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

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Options to consider in Northbridge Street

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Why people call us in Northbridge Street

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:

  • Materials found mid-project
  • Broken sheets in gardens
  • Loft water tanks
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs

Older buildings in Northbridge Street, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
  • If the price includes VAT

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Materials, one by one

Insulating board and lagging

That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Asbestos cement

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

How we work

On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Northbridge Street is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
