Asbestos removal for East Harting
Asbestos removal in East Harting
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like East Harting, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

After we have finished in East Harting
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Typical removal jobs in East Harting
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in East Harting, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
For businesses and landlords in East Harting
