Asbestos removal for Pagham

About our asbestos removal in Pagham

Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old waste on site and Artex before plastering, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings and more.

Rural removal near Pagham can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Typical removal jobs in Pagham

Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.

Common situations in older properties include:

  • Old cold water tanks
  • Materials found mid-project
  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Floor tiles before a new floor

In a school like Rose Green Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Service details

Step by step

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In winter, the light goes in Pagham by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We test the material if needed
  3. We plan the job and send a written quote
  4. We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Make sure we can get to the area
  • Keep the area clear of children and pets

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Insulating board and lagging

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.

Responsibilities for owners

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

For managing agents and freeholders in Pagham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Can I do it myself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What it costs

The cost depends on:

  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The quantity or area
  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • How many samples are needed

Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Photos that help

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • How we’d reach it
  • Damaged areas
  • A photo of the whole area
  • A clear close-up

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Looking after things afterwards

File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.

Keeping things safe:

  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Book the replacement before removal

What to avoid

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Common questions in Pagham

Do you cover small places like Pagham?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

How far is Pagham from London?

We cover Pagham, about 58 miles from central London.

Where does the asbestos go?

It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
