Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Before booking anyone
- What isn’t included
- The method and controls
- What category of work it is

Should you do it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Common questions in Telscombe Cliffs
Do you cover Telscombe Cliffs and the area around Newhaven Town station?
Yes. Newhaven Town station is about 2.9 miles east of Telscombe Cliffs, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
