Asbestos removal near Flimwell
Asbestos removal near Flimwell
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include textured coatings and cement flues and gutters, including floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks.
In a village like Flimwell, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Removing asbestos around Flimwell
Flimwell is about 10 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. If your removal job is in Flimwell, let us know about access when you get in touch. Flimwell is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we work. Our area stretches from Flimwell to Crawley (28 miles away).
In older buildings across Flimwell, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. On busy roads like the B2087, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. Flimwell is within about 5 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
Anywhere in TN5, asbestos removal is available. From High Street, London Road and Corner Farm Close or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. Flimwell sits on or near the B2087; tell us about parking if you’re on a main road.

Flimwell questions
Do you cover small places like Flimwell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Etchingham station?
Yes, we cover Flimwell and the area towards Etchingham station, about 3 miles south.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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 I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

What else we do in Flimwell
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

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 in the way of work, removal is normally right. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
