Asbestos removal across West Sussex

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in West Sussex falls into that category. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.

We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools.

Removing asbestos in West Sussex

Removal jobs across West Sussex range from garage roofs in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to barns and outbuildings in 293 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. Parts of West Sussex are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Crawley: At a school such as Three Bridges Junior School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Crawley, near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. In winter, the light goes in Crawley by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

After the job

File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • File the consignment note

Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Responsibilities for owners

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Why people call us in West Sussex

Your options compared

Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories.

What your quote should include

  • Which areas and materials are covered
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Can I do it myself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Questions from West Sussex

Where does the asbestos go?

It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
