Questions from East Hoathly
Could my house in East Hoathly contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Hoathly can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like East Hoathly?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Asbestos removal for East Hoathly properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Rural removal near East Hoathly can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
After we’ve finished in East Hoathly
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Duty holders and landlords in East Hoathly
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Typical removal jobs in East Hoathly
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
If you let property near Uckfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
