Asbestos removal near Portfield
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. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and garage roof sheets, involving cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Portfield, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Portfield questions
Do you cover Portfield and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 0.9 miles west of Portfield, and we cover both.
Could my house in Portfield contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
