Asbestos removal for High Cross properties
Found asbestos during building work in High Cross? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about Artex before plastering and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like High Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby

Asbestos removal in High Cross: local notes
High Cross is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. High Cross has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from High Cross to Brighton (9 miles away).
For rentals close to Hassocks station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Older buildings in High Cross, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 5 miles of High Cross; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Larger places within reach include Crawley (12 miles north), Horsham (10 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (8 miles south).

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
FAQs for High Cross
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.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover High Cross and the area towards Hassocks station, about 3.4 miles east.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
