How asbestos removal works in Oving

Rural removal near Oving can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Asbestos removal in Oving: local notes
Oving is about 3 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. In Oving, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. Oving is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our area stretches from Oving to Brighton (about 26 miles away).
In older buildings across Oving, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like Westbourne House School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. The coast is within about 5 miles of Oving; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Common questions in Oving
Do you cover Oving and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 2.7 miles west of Oving, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Oving?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Common reasons for removal jobs in Oving
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
If you let property near Chichester station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
