Asbestos removal near Laughton
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

About our asbestos removal in Laughton
In homes, in Laughton as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about old waste on site and asbestos garages, involving cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks.
In a village like Laughton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
On busy roads like the B2124, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.

Should you do 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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Common questions in Laughton
Do you cover Laughton and the area around Glynde station?
Yes, we cover Laughton and the area towards Glynde station, about 3.9 miles south-west.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
