Asbestos removal for Billingshurst
Asbestos removal for Billingshurst properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and cement water tanks in lofts, involving flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Homes in Billingshurst with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Asbestos removal in Billingshurst: local notes
Billingshurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Properties in Billingshurst range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Crawley, about 13 miles away.
For non-domestic buildings like Billingshurst Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. In older buildings across Billingshurst, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
For businesses and landlords in Billingshurst
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

Your questions about asbestos removal in Billingshurst
Do older homes in Billingshurst have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Billingshurst station?
Yes. Billingshurst station is close to the centre of Billingshurst, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Billingshurst?
Yes, we do: our area includes Billingshurst and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
