Asbestos removal near Poling
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From cement water tanks in lofts and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In areas like Poling, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Poling
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Poling, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Poling
Do you work near Arundel station?
Yes. Arundel station is about 1.6 miles north-west of Poling, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
