How asbestos removal works in Findon
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets and more.
In Findon, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Floor tiles

Why people call us in Findon
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex before plastering
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
For non-domestic buildings like St John the Baptist CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Findon
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Findon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
