Asbestos removal in Pulborough
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Pulborough falls into that category. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks, and people normally contact us about textured coatings and debris left from a previous job.
Homes in Pulborough with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Options to consider in Pulborough
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
FAQs for Pulborough
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Pulborough and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Pulborough and the area towards Pulborough station, about 0.6 miles west.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What happens
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Pulborough is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Pulborough, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help

What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
