About asbestos removal in RH11

Asbestos removal across RH11
Common removal jobs in RH11 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Crawley, Broadfield and Bewbush and the 2 villages and hamlets around them.
Broadfield: In older properties in Broadfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. For non-domestic buildings like Seymour Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. We plan outdoor jobs in Broadfield to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
Options to consider in RH11
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- Material and condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
RH11 questions
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
