Removing asbestos around Roedean
Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. We cover Roedean as part of Brighton and Hove, whatever the size of the job. Roedean is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For rentals close to Brighton station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Older buildings in Roedean, near St Mark's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Roedean is within about 7 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. Roedean is within about 2 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

What else we do in Roedean
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What affects the price in Roedean
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Roedean must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Questions from Roedean
Do you cover Roedean from London?
Roedean is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Roedean have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Roedean may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Step by step
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Roedean by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
