How asbestos removal works in Battle
Every removal job in Battle is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos garages.
Homes in Battle with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Battle: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Battle station?
Yes, we cover Battle and the area towards Battle station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- An idea of size
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Why people call us in Battle
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
In a school like Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
