Questions from Fittleworth
Do you cover small places like Fittleworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Fittleworth and the area towards Pulborough station, about 1.9 miles east.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Duty holders and landlords in Fittleworth
If your business premises in Fittleworth were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
