About our asbestos removal in Westerton
In homes, in Westerton as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and broken sheets in gardens.
In Westerton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Westerton by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- 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
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Westerton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear advice on your options
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- No removal until we know what it is

Why people call us in Westerton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
Older buildings in Westerton, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
