Asbestos removal in The Mint
Asbestos removal for The Mint properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos found during building work, we cover water tanks, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near The Mint can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

The Mint questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover The Mint from London?
The Mint is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.

Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.

For businesses and landlords in The Mint
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
