Asbestos removal for Burgh Hill
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we’re done:

- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
About our asbestos removal in Burgh Hill
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and floor tiles before a new floor, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In a village like Burgh Hill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Burgh Hill
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Houses, flats and business premises

What we deal with in Burgh Hill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
In a school like Etchingham Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
The scope of asbestos removal

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Burgh Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Burgh Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
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 help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
