How asbestos removal works in Rudgwick
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about materials found mid-project and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Rudgwick can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Rudgwick properties and asbestos removal
Rudgwick is about 6 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Rudgwick is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Rudgwick is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Our area stretches from Rudgwick to Crawley (11 miles away).
In older buildings across Rudgwick, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Common questions in Rudgwick
Could my house in Rudgwick contain asbestos?
Any home in Rudgwick built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Rudgwick by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Water tanks and flues

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rudgwick, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
