About our asbestos removal in Lancing
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover cement roof sheets, flue pipes and textured coatings and more.
In towns and villages like Lancing, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Lancing
Do you cover Lancing from London?
Lancing is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Lancing station?
Yes, we cover Lancing, including the streets around Lancing station.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lancing?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Lancing is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph

You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
After we have finished in Lancing
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Covering London and the South East

Duty holders and landlords in Lancing
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Lancing, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What we deal with in Lancing
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
In older buildings across Lancing, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
