Asbestos removal near Staplecross

Asbestos removal near Staplecross

Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks.

In Staplecross, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Staplecross

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

  • Old flues
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive

For rentals close to Robertsbridge station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

What to look for in a quote

  • Waste disposal and the consignment note
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • The documents you will receive
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

How we price asbestos removal

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • What the material is and its state
  • How much there is
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • Licensed or non-licensed

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Helping us quote

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • Approximate dimensions
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • A wide shot showing where the material is

Send us the address in Staplecross, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Looking after things afterwards

After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

Once we’re done:

  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos

Things not to do

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Choosing the right option

Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Why choose us

  • No removal until we know what it is
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Reports and results you can share
  • Domestic and commercial work

More about this service

For businesses and landlords in Staplecross

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Common questions in Staplecross

Do you cover Staplecross and the area around Robertsbridge station?

Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 3.1 miles west of Staplecross, and we cover both.

Do you cover small places like Staplecross?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Do I need to move out?

That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
