Choosing the right option
Should it come out? 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. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Helpful guides
Typical removal jobs in Upper Burgate
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
For non-domestic buildings like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Upper Burgate questions
Do you cover small places like Upper Burgate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Upper Burgate contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Burgate may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Upper Burgate must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
