How asbestos removal works in Graffham

In areas like Graffham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Graffham
Do you cover Graffham from London?
We cover Graffham, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Graffham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Why people call us in Graffham
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Graffham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What else we do in Graffham
For businesses and landlords in Graffham
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Graffham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. The work area is kept clear while we are working. In winter, the light goes in Graffham by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
