Common reasons for removal jobs in Burgess Hill

Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

  • Artex before plastering
  • Asbestos garages
  • Cement flues and gutters
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs

For properties on main roads such as the A273 and B2036, we plan parking and loading in advance.

Before you book anyone
