South Stour questions
Is asbestos common in South Stour homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Stour can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like South Stour?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where does the asbestos go?
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.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in South Stour is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

What happens next

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
