Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement water tanks in lofts

About our asbestos removal in Gun Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor, including textured coatings, cement soffits and water tanks.
In areas like Gun Hill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Gun Hill
Do you work on properties 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 come out to small villages like Gun Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Gun Hill?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
