About our asbestos removal in Amberley
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In Amberley, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Amberley questions
Is asbestos common in Amberley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Amberley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Amberley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Options to consider in Amberley

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
