Asbestos removal for Burwash properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and people generally contact us about debris left from a previous job and old flues.
In a village like Burwash, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Burwash
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Burwash homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Burwash can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in Burwash?
Yes. We cover Burwash and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
