Asbestos removal for Durfold Wood
Asbestos removal near Durfold Wood
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and loft water tanks, involving flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Durfold Wood, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear advice on your options
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Durfold Wood: your questions answered
Could my house in Durfold Wood contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Durfold Wood can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Durfold Wood from London?
Durfold Wood is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
If you let property near Witley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
