Common questions in Hellingly
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Hellingly have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
About our asbestos removal in Hellingly
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In areas like Hellingly, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Hellingly, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.

Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
