Asbestos removal for West Wittering properties
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s old waste on site and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In places like West Wittering, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.

For businesses and landlords in West Wittering
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Why people call us in West Wittering
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
For non-domestic buildings like West Wittering Parochial Church of England School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How fibres will be kept down
- What isn’t included
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Do you come out to small villages like West Wittering?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
