Asbestos removal for Westhampnett properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about old flues and old waste on site, involving water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Westhampnett, 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, so you have a record.

Questions from Westhampnett
Do you cover Westhampnett and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 1.7 miles south-west of Westhampnett, and we cover both.
Could my house in Westhampnett contain asbestos?
Any home in Westhampnett built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

Helpful guides
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Westhampnett
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
In a school like The March CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
