Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older properties in Newtimber, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

FAQs for Newtimber
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Newtimber?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with

- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
For businesses and landlords in Newtimber
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Newtimber must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
