Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Seaton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified

Common questions in Seaton
Do you come out to small villages like Seaton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Seaton and the area around Bekesbourne station?
Yes, we cover Seaton and the area towards Bekesbourne station, about 2.8 miles south-west.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you cover Seaton?
Yes, Seaton is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them

- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
