Asbestos removal for Selsey

How asbestos removal works in Selsey

Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and materials found mid-project, we cover textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.

Houses and local businesses around Selsey may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Textured coatings

Selsey questions

Is asbestos common in Selsey homes?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Selsey from London?

Selsey is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Selsey?

There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.

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.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

File the consignment note
Keep children and pets away on the day
Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

Don’ts

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Choosing an asbestos contractor

For businesses and landlords in Selsey

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Step by step

If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Selsey by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

What happens during asbestos removal?

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

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