Asbestos removal in Saddlescombe
Asbestos removal near Saddlescombe
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In a village like Saddlescombe, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we work
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. We plan outdoor jobs in Saddlescombe to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
