Asbestos removal in Pyecombe
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and cement flues and gutters, including cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Pyecombe can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Pyecombe by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
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.
Why people call us in Pyecombe
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Pyecombe include:
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos garages
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For non-domestic buildings like Downlands Community School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What category of work it is
- Any exclusions
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

In older properties in Pyecombe, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. For rentals close to Hassocks station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Pyecombe is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us

Pyecombe questions
Could my house in Pyecombe contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pyecombe can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Pyecombe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
