Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- How much there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Typical removal jobs in East Preston
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across East Preston, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

East Preston: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Angmering station?
Yes. Angmering station is about 0.6 miles north-west of East Preston, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
