About our asbestos removal in Tangmere
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Whether it’s old flues and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
Homes in Tangmere with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Tangmere
Do you cover Tangmere and the area around Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Tangmere and the area towards Chichester station, about 3.2 miles south-west.
Do you cover Tangmere from London?
We cover Tangmere, about 52 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Step by step
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.

Why people call us in Tangmere
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Finds during refurbishment
In a school like Tangmere Primary Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- 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
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
