- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Ardingly properties and asbestos removal
Ardingly is about 3 miles north of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Ardingly is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Ardingly to Crawley (about 6 miles away).
Older buildings in Ardingly, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like St Peter's CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Ardingly is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
We cover removal jobs across RH17. That could mean a property on High Street, Munnion Road and Price Way or the roads around them. For properties just outside Ardingly, we cover Little London (1 mile north), Highbrook (1 mile north-east), Lindfield (2 miles south), Horsted Keynes (2 miles east) and West Hoathly (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Crawley (6 miles north-west), Horsham (10 miles west), Haywards Heath (3 miles south), Burgess Hill (7 miles south), East Grinstead (6 miles north-east) and Broadfield (6 miles north-west).

What it costs
When we quote, we look at:

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas

Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Parking close by makes the day easier. Late-December sunset in Ardingly is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken

Questions from Ardingly
Do you come out to small villages like Ardingly?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Ardingly contain asbestos?
If your home in Ardingly was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What we deal with in Ardingly
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
For rentals close to Balcombe station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
