What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Removal jobs in Bolney
Bolney is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Bolney has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Bolney to Crawley (about 8 miles away).
In older properties in Bolney, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. If you let property near Wivelsfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 7 miles of Bolney; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Close by, we cover Crosspost (1 mile south-west), Twineham Green (2 miles south), Twineham (2 miles south), Wineham (3 miles south-west) and Kent Street (3 miles south-west).

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old waste on site
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as Bolney CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Comparing quotes
- The scope of the job, in writing
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
For businesses and landlords in Bolney
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 Bolney, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Questions from Bolney
Do you work near Wivelsfield station?
Yes, we cover Bolney and the area towards Wivelsfield station, about 4.1 miles south-east.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
