About our asbestos removal in East Guldeford
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and Artex before plastering, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near East Guldeford can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from East Guldeford
Do you cover small places like East Guldeford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in East Guldeford homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you test before removing asbestos in East Guldeford?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do you cover East Guldeford?
We do: East Guldeford is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
