About our asbestos removal in Horndean
Asbestos removal in Horndean covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks, and people usually contact us about cement flues and gutters and debris left from a previous job.
Homes and small businesses in places like Horndean often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

- The parking area
You will get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Horndean, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Questions from Horndean
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 Horndean homes?
If your home in Horndean was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, 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, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work in Horndean?
Yes, we do: our area includes Horndean and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
