About our asbestos removal in Hove
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and materials found mid-project, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Homes and small businesses in areas like Hove often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Hove
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Hove
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as St Andrew's CofE (Aided) Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Comparing quotes
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Your options compared

Why choose us
