About our asbestos removal in Litlington

We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and debris left from a previous job, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.

Rural removal near Litlington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Removing asbestos around Litlington

Litlington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Litlington has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 289 places in East Sussex. We work right across the region, from Litlington to Brighton (13 miles away).

In older properties in Litlington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Alfriston School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about a mile of Litlington; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 4 miles of Litlington, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Anywhere in BN26, asbestos removal is available. That could mean a property on The Street, Clapham Lane and Litlington Road or the roads around them. Other places close to Litlington we cover include Lullington (1 mile north), Dukes Green (1 mile west), Alfriston (1 mile north), Winton (1 mile north) and Milton Street (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also work in Eastbourne (6 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (14 miles east), Seaford (3 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles north-west), Hailsham (6 miles north-east) and Uckfield (12 miles north).

Nearby you’ll also find Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (4.1 miles west) and Old Forge Museum (Alfriston) (0.8 miles north). The countryside around Litlington includes Combe Hill.

Nearby, you will find The Plough And Harrow Inn (under half a mile south)

Where asbestos turns up

Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

Artex before plastering
Outbuildings with cement roofs
Old flues
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles

Landlords near Berwick (Sussex) station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Before booking anyone

Suitable insurance for the work
What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Read the checklist

Can I do it myself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Litlington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

After we’ve finished in Litlington

If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.

After the job, keep these in mind:

Let neighbours know if work is near them
Tell us about parking and access
Book the replacement before removal
File the consignment note

Don’ts

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

What it costs

The biggest factors in the price are:

Location, parking and any London charges
Waste quantity and disposal
Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The quantity or area

Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Questions from Litlington

Do you work near Berwick (Sussex) station?

Yes, we cover Litlington and the area towards Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.9 miles north.

Do you come out to small villages like Litlington?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Litlington?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?

Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

How can I get a price?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
