Asbestos removal near Pett

Choosing the right option

Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

How asbestos removal works in Pett

In homes, in Pett 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, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts.

In Pett, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.

Asbestos cement

Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before you book:

Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

More about this service

After we have finished in Pett

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

Once we’re done:

Share any survey or test results
Send photos of the material and the access
File the consignment note
Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Avoid these

Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Common questions in Pett

Do you cover Pett from London?

We cover Pett, about 53 miles from central London.

Do you come out to small villages like Pett?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Do you cover Pett?

Yes, Pett is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

How do I get a quote?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Can I stay at home during removal?

It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.

Step by step

Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Pett by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

DIY and asbestos

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Why people call us in Pett

Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across East Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Finds during refurbishment
Old waste on site
Garage roof sheets

Older buildings in Pett, near St Mary & St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
