Asbestos removal for Hardham
For businesses and landlords in Hardham
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Hardham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How asbestos removal works in Hardham
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roofs and whole garages, including gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Hardham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Hardham: your questions answered
How far is Hardham from London?
Hardham is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Hardham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you cover Hardham?
Yes. We cover Hardham and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
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.

What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What we deal with in Hardham
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as St James' CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- What is not included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
