How asbestos removal works in Seal

Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.

In Seal, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Prices and what affects them

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • The size of the job
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Parking and access charges
  • The type of material and its condition

Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What to photograph

To help us quote quickly, send:

  • Where we could park
  • Approximate dimensions
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Looking after things afterwards

If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Tell us about any previous survey
  • File the consignment note

Avoid these

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Options to consider in Seal

For landlords, agents and businesses

If your business premises in Seal were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Why people call us in Seal

Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.

Typical jobs in Seal include:

  • Broken sheets in gardens
  • Artex before plastering
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Asbestos garages

For rentals close to Bat & Ball station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

For non-domestic buildings like Seal Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Seal, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Doing it yourself?

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

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • 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
