Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

About our asbestos removal in Icklesham
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s cement flues and gutters and old cold water tanks, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
In towns and villages like Icklesham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Artex before plastering
If you let property near Winchelsea station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
