Shoreham-by-Sea: your questions answered
Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea from London?
We cover Shoreham-by-Sea, about 46 miles from central London.
Could my house in Shoreham-by-Sea contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shoreham-by-Sea may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
