Removal jobs in Broad Oak
Broad Oak is about 6 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. We work across Broad Oak and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Broad Oak is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we work. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 31 miles away.
Older buildings in Broad Oak, near The Parish Church of St George or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. For non-domestic buildings like Brede Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. The coast is within about 6 miles of Broad Oak; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Questions from Broad Oak
Is asbestos common in Broad Oak homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Broad Oak may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Broad Oak?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

For businesses and landlords in Broad Oak
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broad Oak, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What affects the price in Broad Oak
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
