About our asbestos removal in Southwick
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and garage roof sheets, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Southwick, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Southwick
For managing agents and freeholders in Southwick, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Southwick: your questions answered
How far is Southwick from London?
Southwick is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Portchester station?
Yes. Portchester station is about 1.9 miles south of Southwick, and we cover both.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover Southwick?
Yes, Southwick is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
