Asbestos removal in Horam
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How asbestos removal works in Horam
Found asbestos during building work in Horam? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits and more.
In Horam, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we work
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. Outdoor removal in Horam is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive

For businesses and landlords in Horam
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.

Horam questions
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.
Do you cover Horam from London?
We cover Horam, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you work in Horam?
Yes. We cover Horam and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What affects the price in Horam
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
