FAQs for Boxgrove
How far is Boxgrove from London?
We cover Boxgrove, about 52 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Boxgrove homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are old flues and debris left from a previous job.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- No removal until we know what it is
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Why people call us in Boxgrove
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For non-domestic buildings like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
