About our asbestos removal in West Marden
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and debris left from a previous job, involving floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In places like West Marden, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in West Marden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Why people call us in West Marden

For non-domestic buildings like Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

West Marden questions
Could my house in West Marden contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
