Asbestos removal in Faygate
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From old waste on site and old flues, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Faygate can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Faygate
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Faygate from London?
Faygate is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in Faygate?
Yes. We cover Faygate and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
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.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Faygate
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
At a school such as Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What paperwork you get
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What else we do in Faygate
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
