Asbestos removal near Marehill
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos removal for Marehill properties
Asbestos removal in Marehill covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and cement water tanks in lofts, involving water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In Marehill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

- Cement flues and gutters

Marehill properties and asbestos removal
Marehill is about 10 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Marehill has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 371 places across West Sussex. We work right across the region, from Marehill to Brighton (17 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. If you let property near Pulborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Marehill is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

FAQs for Marehill
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Marehill and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 1.6 miles west of Marehill, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
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 help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
