Asbestos removal near Runcton
In homes, in Runcton 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. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and cement water tanks in lofts.
Rural removal near Runcton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Runcton questions
Do you cover Runcton from London?

Do you cover Runcton?
Yes. We cover Runcton and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Asbestos garages
