Bury properties and asbestos removal
Bury is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Bury has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Bury to Brighton (about 20 miles away).
In older buildings across Bury, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. Landlords near Amberley station often time removal for when a property is empty. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 2 miles of Bury. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

How asbestos removal works in Bury
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roofs and whole garages, including textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Bury, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Typical removal jobs in Bury
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos garages
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
For non-domestic buildings like Bury CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any exclusions
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The documents you’ll receive
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Going forward:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What we do and don’t cover

- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Common questions in Bury
How far is Bury from London?
We cover Bury, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work near Amberley station?
Yes, we cover Bury and the area towards Amberley station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
