Asbestos removal for Carlton Hill properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and garage roof sheets, we cover flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
Properties in towns and villages like Carlton Hill with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Questions from Carlton Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Carlton Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Other services in Carlton Hill

- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
