Asbestos removal for Hailsham properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about textured coatings and debris left from a previous job, involving water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Homes and small businesses in places like Hailsham often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Hailsham: your questions answered
How far is Hailsham from London?
Hailsham is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need a test or 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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products 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.
Step by step
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. Outdoor removal in Hailsham is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
