Asbestos help in Albourne Street
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How asbestos removal works in Albourne Street
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Albourne Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in Albourne Street
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
In a school like Albourne CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
