How far is South Harting from London?

Do you come out to small villages like South Harting?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Where asbestos turns up

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Finds during refurbishment

- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like Harting CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
