Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After we have finished:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
Landlords near Rye station often time removal for when a property is empty.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
The process
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Flackley Ash is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material

Flackley Ash questions
Do you work near Rye station?
Yes, we cover Flackley Ash and the area towards Rye station, about 3 miles south-east.
Do you cover small places like Flackley Ash?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
