Asbestos removal near Pickhurst
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and materials found mid-project, we cover cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Pickhurst can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Pickhurst
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Pickhurst from London?
Pickhurst is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
