Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

FAQs for Ringmer
Do you work near Glynde station?
Yes. Glynde station is about 2.4 miles south of Ringmer, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Options to consider in Ringmer
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Why people call us in Ringmer
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garage roof sheets
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
For non-domestic buildings like Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What isn’t included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
