What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Typical removal jobs in Selsfield Common
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Selsfield Common, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Selsfield Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Selsfield Common from London?
Selsfield Common is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 3.5 miles north-east of Selsfield Common, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Selsfield Common?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
