Questions from Chichester
How far is Chichester from London?
We cover Chichester, about 54 miles from central London.
Do you work near Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Chichester and the area towards Chichester station, about 0.6 miles south.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What happens
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Chichester is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older properties in Chichester, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
