FAQs for Staplefield
Do you work near Balcombe station?
Yes. Balcombe station is about 2.1 miles north-east of Staplefield, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Staplefield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t 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.
Options to consider in Staplefield
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
