Asbestos removal in Down Street
Asbestos removal for Down Street properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. From materials found mid-project and old waste on site, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In Down Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Down Street
Do you come out to small villages like Down Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Down Street from London?
Down Street is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Why people call us in Down Street
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Textured coatings
If you let property near Uckfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
