About our asbestos removal in Tortington
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In a village like Tortington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

The scope of asbestos removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Tortington
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Tortington: your questions answered
Could my house in Tortington contain asbestos?
Any home in Tortington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Tortington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in Tortington?
We do: our area includes Tortington and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
