Your options compared
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. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Common questions in Upper Horsebridge
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Upper Horsebridge homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
How it works
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Upper Horsebridge is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
