Asbestos removal for Piddinghoe
Questions from Piddinghoe
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Piddinghoe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
About our asbestos removal in Piddinghoe
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Piddinghoe can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why people call us in Piddinghoe
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like Breakwater Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
