Asbestos removal near Borden
Asbestos removal for Borden properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and garage roof sheets, including textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In Borden, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we work
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. The work area is kept clear while we are working. Outdoor removal in Borden is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have

- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully

The scope of asbestos removal
Before you book, note that:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
A few practical points:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Why people call us in Borden
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Borden:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Borden, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Questions from Borden
Do you cover small places like Borden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
