Asbestos removal for Warninglid

How asbestos removal works in Warninglid

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Warninglid falls into that category. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old flues, we cover cement roof sheets, flue pipes and textured coatings.

In Warninglid, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Choosing the right option

Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

What you get

  • No removal until we know what it is
  • Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces

See our prices page or published price ranges.

What happens

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Outdoor removal in Warninglid is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Warninglid

Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Do older homes in Warninglid have asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Warninglid can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Warninglid?

Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Do I need to move out?

That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area in the job.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Limits to be aware of

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
  • Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Common materials

  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Flue pipes
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Water tanks
  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Soffits (cement)
  • Panels and boards
  • Asbestos cement sheets
  • Gutters and downpipes

Should you do it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Materials we deal with

Textured coatings

We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Bitumen and felt

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
