Which option is right?

For businesses and landlords in Tillington
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Common questions in Tillington
How far is Tillington from London?
Tillington is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Tillington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

- Gutters and downpipes
What we deal with in Tillington
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across West Sussex.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
Near open spaces such as Graffham Common, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
