Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Saltdean were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Saltdean properties and asbestos removal
Saltdean is about 1 mile west of Telscombe, in Brighton and Hove. Saltdean has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 30 places in Brighton and Hove.
Older buildings in Saltdean, near St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. For rentals close to Southease station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Saltdean is within about 6 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. Saltdean is within about 5 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Saltdean questions
Do you cover Saltdean from London?
We cover Saltdean, about 48 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Saltdean homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Saltdean?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Saltdean
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Loft water tanks
At a school such as Saltdean Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- VAT, clearly stated
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
