How asbestos removal works in Sandy Cross

Every removal job in Sandy Cross is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.

Homes in Sandy Cross with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Service details

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

How we work

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Outdoor removal in Sandy Cross 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. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
  3. We quote in writing, including the waste
  4. On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
  5. Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Mention any parking restrictions

Helpful guides

Questions from Sandy Cross

Could my house in Sandy Cross contain asbestos?

Any home in Sandy Cross built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Sandy Cross from London?

We cover Sandy Cross, about 40 miles from central London.

Do you work in Sandy Cross?

Yes, we do: Sandy Cross is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can asbestos be left in place?

It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

After the job

Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.

Some practical advice:

  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them

Don’ts

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

What it costs

What drives the price:

  • How much there is
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • How easy it is to reach
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

Photo tips:

  • The parking area
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The access route
  • A rough size or measurement

Materials, one by one

Floor tiles

The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Typical removal jobs in Sandy Cross

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

Typical jobs in Sandy Cross include:

  • Garage roof sheets
  • Textured coatings
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Debris left from a previous job

For non-domestic buildings like Parkside Community Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Before you book anyone

  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • The method and controls

  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork

What to check before booking

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
