Asbestos removal in Elsted Marsh
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Elsted Marsh, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Asbestos removal for Elsted Marsh properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and debris left from a previous job, involving flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In a village like Elsted Marsh, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
You will get a written quote. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
After we’ve finished in Elsted Marsh
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Elsted Marsh questions
Do you come out to small villages like Elsted Marsh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in Elsted Marsh?
Yes. We cover Elsted Marsh and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Elsted Marsh
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Elsted Marsh, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
