About our asbestos removal in Flansham
Every removal job in Flansham is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people generally contact us about materials found mid-project and garage roof sheets.
In places like Flansham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Asbestos removal in Flansham: local notes
Flansham is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Properties in Flansham range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Flansham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Flansham to Brighton (22 miles away).
Landlords near Barnham station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Flansham, near Bilsham Chapel or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Flansham is within about 3 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Flansham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Flansham
Do you come out to small villages like Flansham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.9 miles north of Flansham, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
