Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in South Ambersham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Ambersham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In winter, the light goes in South Ambersham by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Questions from South Ambersham
Do you come out to small villages like South Ambersham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How much does asbestos removal cost in South Ambersham?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- Cracks or breaks
