Asbestos removal for Elmer
Asbestos removal for Elmer properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Elmer, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In places like Elmer, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Elmer by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure we can get to the area

After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos removal in Elmer: local notes
Elmer is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We work across Elmer and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Elmer is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 21 miles away.
Landlords near Ford station often time removal for when a property is empty. In older buildings across Elmer, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. The coast is within about 3 miles of Elmer; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
Here we cover the PO22 postcode area. Local streets include Elmer Road, Ancton Lane and East Avenue; we cover every one. We also carry out removal jobs in Middleton-on-Sea (1 mile west), Bilsham (1 mile north), Atherington (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles north-west) and Horsemere Green (2 miles north-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Worthing (9 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles west), Chichester (8 miles north-west), Selsey (9 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Bognor Regis Museum (3.1 miles west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles west).
- Local schools include Felpham Community College (2.1 miles west)
What we deal with in Elmer
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Comparing quotes
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Elmer: your questions answered
Do you work near Ford station?
Yes, we cover Elmer and the area towards Ford station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in Elmer homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases 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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
