What we deal with in South Bersted
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before tiling
For a school such as South Bersted CofE Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Questions from South Bersted
Could my house in South Bersted contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Bognor Regis station?
Yes. Bognor Regis station is close to the centre of South Bersted, and we cover the whole area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
