- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Stonegate station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

How asbestos removal works in Burwash Common
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and textured coatings, including gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In a village like Burwash Common, 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, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Burwash Common questions
Is asbestos common in Burwash Common homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
