Asbestos removal near West Preston
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across West Preston: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. From materials found mid-project and debris left from a previous job, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like West Preston, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in West Preston must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Outdoor removal in West Preston is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready

Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

- Domestic and commercial work

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
West Preston properties and asbestos removal
West Preston is about 4 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. In West Preston, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. West Preston is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. We work right across the region, from West Preston to Brighton (16 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like Georgian Gardens Community Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in West Preston, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. West Preston is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 3 miles of West Preston, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
West Preston questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is West Preston from London?
West Preston is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
If you let property near Angmering station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
