Asbestos removal for Patcham
Asbestos removal near Patcham
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From outbuildings with cement roofs and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks and more.
In a smaller place like Patcham, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Patcham
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Landlords near Preston Park station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

At a school such as Patcham Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Patcham, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Patcham is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields. Patcham is within about 4 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

What happens next

- File the consignment note

Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Patcham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Patcham
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Patcham and the area around Preston Park station?
Yes. Preston Park station is about 1.3 miles south of Patcham, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
