Asbestos removal near Argos Hill
Found asbestos during building work in Argos Hill? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Argos Hill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? 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 is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Typical removal jobs in Argos Hill
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex before plastering
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Argos Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Questions from Argos Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Argos Hill have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
