How asbestos removal works in Slindon Common
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. From textured coatings and old waste on site, we deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles and more.
In Slindon Common, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Slindon Common
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes, we cover Slindon Common and the area towards Barnham station, about 2.1 miles south.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
