Asbestos removal in Eastergate
Asbestos removal for Eastergate properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In a village like Eastergate, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Eastergate: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Eastergate from London?
Eastergate is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Eastergate
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.

Older buildings in Eastergate, near St George's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
