Bedham properties and asbestos removal
Bedham is about 6 miles south-west of Billingshurst, in West Sussex. Bedham has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 371 places across West Sussex. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 19 miles away.
Older buildings in Bedham, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. For rentals close to Pulborough station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Bedham is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Asbestos removal in Bedham
In homes, in Bedham as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about asbestos found during building work and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In Bedham, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bedham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Bedham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bedham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
