Asbestos removal for Bilsham
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Bilsham: your questions answered
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.
How far is Bilsham from London?
Bilsham is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
How do I get a quote?

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bilsham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
