Asbestos removal for Rye properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and textured coatings, involving textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
Homes in Rye with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rye, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

FAQs for Rye
Do you cover Rye and the area around Rye station?
Yes. Rye station is close to the centre of Rye, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Rye from London?
Rye is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you cover Rye?
We do: Rye is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Which option is right?
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Accredited laboratory results
- Houses, flats and business premises
