Asbestos removal for Sundridge

Asbestos removal near Sundridge

Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment, including floor tiles, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.

Removal jobs around Sundridge often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Sundridge

Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

People generally contact us about one of these:

  • Materials found mid-project
  • Cement water tanks in lofts
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Garage roof sheets

In a school like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Before you book anyone

  • What paperwork you get
  • The method and controls
  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Step by step

Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Sundridge to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

  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. We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Getting a price

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Questions from Sundridge

Is asbestos common in Sundridge homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sundridge may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you work in Sundridge despite London parking restrictions?

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

Do I need to move out?

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

What it costs

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

  • What the material is and its state
  • How easy it is to reach
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Helping us quote

Photos often save us a visit:

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

To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

For businesses and landlords in Sundridge

If you manage or own a block in Sundridge, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Choosing the right option

What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What we do and do not cover

A few things to be aware of:

  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Common materials

  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Panels and boards
  • Water tanks
  • Flue pipes

Service details

Afterwards

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them

Don’ts

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
