Horsham questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Horsham from London?
Horsham is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

What else we do in Horsham
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Why people call us in Horsham
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old flues
For properties on main roads such as the A24 and A29, we plan parking and loading in advance.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas and materials are covered
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Horsham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
