East Dean questions
Do you cover small places like East Dean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover East Dean from London?
East Dean is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Why people call us in East Dean
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in East Dean:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old flues
Older buildings in East Dean, near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Duty holders and landlords in East Dean
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
