For businesses and landlords in Abbotsford
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Abbotsford
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Abbotsford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

After we’ve finished in Abbotsford
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
