Asbestos removal near Hollingbury
Asbestos removal in Hollingbury
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From asbestos found during building work and textured coatings, we deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits and more.
In areas like Hollingbury, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hollingbury
Do you work on properties 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 Hollingbury have asbestos?
If your home in Hollingbury was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
