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 usually right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Removing asbestos around Peacehaven
Peacehaven is about 5 miles west of Seaford, in East Sussex. Peacehaven has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Peacehaven is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 6 miles away.
Older buildings in Peacehaven, near Ascension Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. On busy roads like the A259, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. Peacehaven is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields. The coast is within about 5 miles of Peacehaven, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Common questions in Peacehaven
Do you work near Newhaven Town station?
Yes. Newhaven Town station is about 2.1 miles east of Peacehaven, and we cover both.
Do you cover Peacehaven from London?
Peacehaven is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
For non-domestic buildings like Peacehaven Community School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
