Asbestos removal for Crowborough properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks, we cover flue pipes, water tanks and floor tiles and more.
Homes and small businesses in towns and villages like Crowborough may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Crowborough
Do you work on properties 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.
Is asbestos common in Crowborough homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Crowborough may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.

- Bitumen roof felt

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
In older buildings across Crowborough, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Crowborough is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Find any old asbestos reports
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.

What else we do in Crowborough
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
