Your questions about asbestos removal in Sidley
Is asbestos common in Sidley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sidley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sidley from London?
We cover Sidley, about 51 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Sidley?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we have finished:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Typical removal jobs in Sidley
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you’re on or near the A2691, tell us about parking and loading.
