What we deal with in St Leonards
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages
In a school like St Leonard's Church of England Primary Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

After we have finished in St Leonards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Options to consider in St Leonards
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
