Horney Common: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Horney Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes

- Garage and shed roofs

Typical removal jobs in Horney Common
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos garages
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Horney Common, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
