Asbestos removal near The Haven
Asbestos removal for The Haven properties
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, which still means proper controls. From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and outbuildings with cement roofs, we cover cement soffits, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In a village like The Haven, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For businesses and landlords in The Haven
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your questions about asbestos removal in The Haven
Do you cover small places like The Haven?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover The Haven and the area around Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover The Haven and the area towards Billingshurst station, about 3.4 miles south.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
