Asbestos removal for Alciston
Asbestos removal near Alciston
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and asbestos garages.
Rural removal near Alciston can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Duty holders and landlords in Alciston
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A clear close-up

Which option is right?

Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
What we deal with in Alciston
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Debris left from a previous job
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For rentals close to Berwick (Sussex) station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
