How asbestos removal works in Bosham
Found asbestos during building work in Bosham? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next.

Typical removal jobs in Bosham
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bosham:
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
In older properties in Bosham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Bosham
Do you work near Bosham station?
Yes. Bosham station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Bosham, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Bosham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bosham can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

After we’ve finished in Bosham
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park

- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
