Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Finds during refurbishment
For non-domestic buildings like Lyminster Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Places near Lyminster
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

FAQs for Lyminster
Could my house in Lyminster contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lyminster may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Lyminster and the area around Arundel station?
Yes. Arundel station is about 1.3 miles north of Lyminster, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
