What we deal with in Little London
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like St Peter's CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
