Ifold: your questions answered
Could my house in Ifold contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ifold from London?
Ifold is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Ifold were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ifold
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like Loxwood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What paperwork you get
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- Where we could park
- An overall view
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
