South Bersted questions
Do you cover South Bersted from London?
South Bersted is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in South Bersted have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Bersted may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Also in South Bersted
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in South Bersted were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What affects the price in South Bersted
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
