Asbestos removal in Wiston
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
How asbestos removal works in Wiston
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and garage roof sheets, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Wiston, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Wiston: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Wiston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Wiston from London?
We cover Wiston, about 42 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Covering London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Wiston, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
