Asbestos removal near Arundel
Every removal job in Arundel is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about old waste on site and finds during refurbishment.
In areas like Arundel, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos removal in Arundel: local notes
Arundel is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. In Arundel, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 19 miles away.
In a school like St Philip's Catholic Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. If you are on or near the A27 and A284, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted. Arundel is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of Arundel, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos removal in Arundel
Do you cover Arundel and the area around Arundel station?
Yes, we cover Arundel and the area towards Arundel station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Arundel, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Arundel, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
