Asbestos removal for Iford
For businesses and landlords in Iford
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Asbestos removal for Iford properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks, we deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Iford, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Iford
Do you cover small places like Iford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Iford from London?
Iford is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

The scope of asbestos removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Bitumen roof felt

- Soffits (cement)

Common reasons for removal jobs in Iford
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs

Older buildings in Iford, near St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes) or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
