East Worthing questions
How far is East Worthing from London?
East Worthing is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near East Worthing station?
Yes. East Worthing station is about 0.6 miles north of East Worthing, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
About our artex removal in East Worthing
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes and more.
Homes in places like East Worthing may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
