Asbestos removal in Norton
How asbestos removal works in Norton
In homes, in Norton as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about asbestos garages and debris left from a previous job.
In Norton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

- Reports and results you can share
- Accredited laboratory results
Take a look at our prices page and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Norton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common questions in Norton
Do you cover Norton and the area around Bishopstone (Sussex) station?
Yes. Bishopstone (Sussex) station is about 1.2 miles south of Norton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Norton from London?
Norton is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Norton
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Norton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
