Questions from Kirdford
Do you cover Kirdford from London?
We cover Kirdford, about 38 miles from central London.
Do you work near Billingshurst station?
Yes. Billingshurst station is about 4.7 miles east of Kirdford, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Why people call us in Kirdford
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Billingshurst station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- If the price includes VAT
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
