Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Common questions in Sheerness
Do you cover Sheerness from London?
We cover Sheerness, about 37 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Sheerness have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sheerness can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
