Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Winchelsea Beach, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Why people call us in Winchelsea Beach

What it might be made of

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Winchelsea Beach
Do older homes in Winchelsea Beach have asbestos?
If your home in Winchelsea Beach was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Winchelsea station?
Yes. Winchelsea station is about 1.6 miles north-west of Winchelsea Beach, and we cover both.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
