About our asbestos removal in Steyning
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, involving floor tiles, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Steyning, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Duty holders and landlords in Steyning
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Steyning were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

FAQs for Steyning
How far is Steyning from London?
We cover Steyning, about 44 miles from central London.
Could my house in Steyning contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Steyning can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
