About our asbestos removal in Beckley
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and cement water tanks in lofts.
In places like Beckley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What we deal with in Beckley
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
In older properties, we often see:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you are on or near the B2088, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Which areas and materials are covered

Your questions about asbestos removal in Beckley
Do you work near Winchelsea station?
Yes, we cover Beckley and the area towards Winchelsea station, about 4.4 miles south-east.
How far is Beckley from London?
Beckley is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
The process
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. Outdoor removal in Beckley is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
