FAQs for Findon Valley
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 older homes in Findon Valley have 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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Findon Valley
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings

Weighing up your options
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
