How asbestos removal works in Smallbridge

Every removal job in Smallbridge is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and finds during refurbishment, we cover flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.

In Smallbridge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

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

Looking after things afterwards

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

Once we are done:

  • Photos of the material and the route in help
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • File the consignment note

Don’ts

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Which option is right?

DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What you get

  • Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
  • Waste paperwork for every removal
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
  • Covering London and the South East

Can I do it myself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What happens

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Smallbridge by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We identify it if needed and plan the method
  3. We send a quote covering the work and the waste
  4. We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
  5. The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Ensure we can get to the area
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Limits to be aware of

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

  • Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
  • We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we see

  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Asbestos cement sheets
  • Panels and boards
  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Water tanks
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Soffits (cement)
  • Flue pipes
  • Gutters and downpipes

Service details

Smallbridge: your questions answered

Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Do you cover Smallbridge from London?

We cover Smallbridge, about 35 miles from central London.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Do you cover Smallbridge?

Yes, Smallbridge is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Can I stay at home during removal?

It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
