How asbestos removal works in Goddards Green
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and floor tiles before a new floor, involving cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks.
In areas like Goddards Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Goddards Green questions
Do you cover Goddards Green and the area around Burgess Hill station?
Yes. Burgess Hill station is about 2.1 miles south-east of Goddards Green, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Goddards Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
What we deal with in Goddards Green
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Goddards Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
