Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Worthing
Is asbestos common in Worthing homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Worthing can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Worthing and the area around West Worthing station?
Yes, we cover Worthing and the area towards West Worthing station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

What else we do in Worthing
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
