DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common questions in Aldrington
How far is Aldrington from London?
We cover Aldrington, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work near Portslade station?
Yes, we cover Aldrington and the area towards Portslade station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Aldrington?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal

- Visible markings

What we deal with in Aldrington
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Aldrington, near St Philip's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
