Asbestos removal for Broyle Side
Asbestos removal in Broyle Side
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement flues and gutters, involving gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a village like Broyle Side, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Broyle Side
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Broyle Side
Do older homes in Broyle Side have asbestos?
If your home in Broyle Side was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Broyle Side from London?
We cover Broyle Side, about 42 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
