About our asbestos removal in Dallington
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and Artex ceilings before renovation, including floor tiles, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Dallington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Bitumen roof felt

- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Typical removal jobs in Dallington
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Older buildings in Dallington, near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If your business premises in Dallington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Questions from Dallington
Do you cover Dallington from London?
We cover Dallington, about 43 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Dallington homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dallington may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Dallington?
We do: Dallington is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
