How asbestos removal works in Barnham
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and people generally contact us about textured coatings and debris left from a previous job.
Rural removal near Barnham can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Barnham properties and asbestos removal
Barnham is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We work across Barnham and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Barnham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. We work right across the region, from Barnham to Brighton (22 miles away).
If you let property near Barnham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In older properties in Barnham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 7 miles of Barnham; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. Barnham is within about 4 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we are done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
