FAQs for East Dean
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like East Dean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you cover East Dean?
Yes, we do: East Dean is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
