Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Your options compared

Questions from Wivelsfield
Is asbestos common in Wivelsfield homes?
If your home in Wivelsfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Wivelsfield from London?
We cover Wivelsfield, about 37 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you cover Wivelsfield?
Yes. We cover Wivelsfield and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Wivelsfield, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
