Asbestos removal in Fishbourne
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement flues and gutters, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
Properties in places like Fishbourne with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear advice on your options
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Removal jobs in Fishbourne
Fishbourne is about 1 mile west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover Fishbourne as part of West Sussex, whatever the size of the job. Fishbourne is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 26 miles away.
Older buildings in Fishbourne, near Church of St Peter and St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. If you let property near Fishbourne station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Fishbourne by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.

Questions from Fishbourne
Do you cover Fishbourne from London?
Fishbourne is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Fishbourne station?
Yes. Fishbourne station is close to the centre of Fishbourne, and we cover the whole area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
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.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Fishbourne
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
