Asbestos removal in Plummers Plain
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 finds during refurbishment and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In places like Plummers Plain, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Plummers Plain questions
How far is Plummers Plain from London?
Plummers Plain is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Plummers Plain contain asbestos?
Any home in Plummers Plain built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Why people call us in Plummers Plain
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Plummers Plain, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
