About our asbestos removal in Northease
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include old waste on site and garage roof sheets, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In Northease, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What else we do in Northease
Northease: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Northease homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Southease station?
Yes, we cover Northease and the area towards Southease station, about 1.4 miles south-east.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
