Asbestos removal in Sellindge
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and materials found mid-project, including cement roof sheets, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In Sellindge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Typical removal jobs in Sellindge
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across Sellindge, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Questions from Sellindge
Do older homes in Sellindge have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sellindge may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Sellindge from London?
We cover Sellindge, about 55 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:

- Making good is normally a separate job
