Common questions in Tide Mills
Is asbestos common in Tide Mills homes?
Any home in Tide Mills built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Tide Mills?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you cover Tide Mills?
Yes, Tide Mills is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Tide Mills is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

After we have finished in Tide Mills
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Typical removal jobs in Tide Mills
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you let property near Bishopstone (Sussex) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
