Asbestos removal near Fisher
Asbestos removal in Fisher covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Fisher, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Typical jobs in Fisher include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Landlords near Chichester station often time removal for when a property is empty.

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.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Fisher, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Fisher is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Questions from Fisher
How far is Fisher from London?
We cover Fisher, about 56 miles from central London.
Could my house in Fisher contain asbestos?
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.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Fisher?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you work in Fisher?
Yes. We cover Fisher and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Asbestos removal in Fisher: local notes
Fisher is about 3 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. Fisher is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Fisher to Brighton (about 28 miles away).
Older buildings in Fisher, near St Leodegar's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. At a school such as Chichester High School For Girls, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Fisher is within about 5 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We carry out removal jobs all over PO20. If your property is just outside Fisher, we also cover South Mundham (1 mile east), Street End (1 mile south-west), Sidlesham Common (1 mile west), Sidlesham (2 miles south-west) and Nyetimber (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Bognor Regis (3 miles east), Chichester (3 miles north), Selsey (5 miles south), Littlehampton (10 miles east), Emsworth (9 miles north-west) and Rustington (11 miles east).
