Asbestos removal for Ferring
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How asbestos removal works in Ferring
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Ferring, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Ferring
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Ferring
How far is Ferring from London?
Ferring is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
