Asbestos removal near Greatham
How asbestos removal works in Greatham
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and old waste on site, including water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In a village like Greatham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Greatham
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes. Liss station is about 2 miles south of Greatham, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Greatham?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Greatham
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex before plastering
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
If you let property near Liss station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Greatham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing 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.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
