About our asbestos removal in Winton
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos found during building work, involving water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Winton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Options to consider in Winton
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Winton: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Winton homes?
If your home in Winton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
