Asbestos removal near Rye Harbour
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old flues and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In a village like Rye Harbour, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rye Harbour, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Rye Harbour, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Rye Harbour questions
Do you cover Rye Harbour and the area around Rye station?
Yes. Rye station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Rye Harbour, and we cover both.
Could my house in Rye Harbour contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
