Helpful guides
Asbestos removal in Fairlight
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about debris left from a previous job and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a village like Fairlight, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Fairlight
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Fairlight:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Fairlight, near The Parish Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The method and controls
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Fairlight questions
How far is Fairlight from London?
Fairlight is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Fairlight?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you cover Fairlight?
Yes. We cover Fairlight and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.

If you let property near Three Oaks station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. The coast is within about 4 miles of Fairlight; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
