Asbestos removal near Crockerhill
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex before plastering.
In places like Crockerhill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Removing asbestos around Crockerhill
Crockerhill is about 4 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. If your removal job is in Crockerhill, let us know about access. We work in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Crockerhill to Brighton (24 miles away).
In older buildings across Crockerhill, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. In a school like Tangmere Primary Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Crockerhill is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 6 miles of Crockerhill, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
If you let property near Barnham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Before you book anyone
- How fibres will be kept down
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Common questions in Crockerhill
Do you cover Crockerhill and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Crockerhill, and we cover both.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

DIY and asbestos
