Asbestos removal for Barcombe Mills properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people normally contact us about old waste on site and garage roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Barcombe Mills, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Removal jobs in Barcombe Mills
Barcombe Mills is about 3 miles north-east of Lewes, in East Sussex. We cover Barcombe Mills as part of East Sussex, whatever the size of the job. We work in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Barcombe Mills to Brighton (about 9 miles away).
Older buildings in Barcombe Mills, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. If you let property near Cooksbridge station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Why people call us in Barcombe Mills
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
At a school such as Barcombe Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- If the price includes VAT
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Across London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

- What the material is and its state
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
