DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Common questions in Framfield
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Framfield from London?
Framfield is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
For businesses and landlords in Framfield
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What affects the price in Framfield
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A photo of the whole area
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
What we deal with in Framfield
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
If you let property near Uckfield station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
