Asbestos removal for Heathfield properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical materials include floor tiles, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex before plastering.
Homes in Heathfield with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Heathfield, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Heathfield
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Asbestos garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Textured coatings
In older properties in Heathfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Heathfield questions
Is asbestos common in Heathfield homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Heathfield from London?
We cover Heathfield, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
