Asbestos removal in High Hurstwood
Asbestos removal near High Hurstwood
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about asbestos garages and cement flues and gutters.
In towns and villages like High Hurstwood, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Common questions in High Hurstwood
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like High Hurstwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
