Asbestos help in Old Heathfield
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? 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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Across London and the South East

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Old Heathfield must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Old Heathfield
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 Old Heathfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
