Asbestos removal and surveys in PO20

Asbestos removal and surveys across PO20, from Selsey, East Wittering and Westergate. For homes, landlords and businesses.

Asbestos removal across PO20

Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and old floor tiles and black adhesive.

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

PO20: removal jobs of every size

From Chichester, Selsey and Portfield to small villages, PO20 has every kind of removal job. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access. Around 34 places in PO20 are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Selsey: In older properties in Selsey, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. In a school like Seal Primary Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Late-December sunset in Selsey is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

For businesses and landlords in PO20

If your business premises in PO20 were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Tell us about parking and access

Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles

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

Textured coatings

Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

Weighing up your options

Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • Suitable insurance for the work
  • How fibres will be kept down

FAQs for PO20

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

How can I get a price?

Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
