How asbestos removal works in Sedlescombe
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. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos found during building work.
In Sedlescombe, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Sedlescombe
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Sedlescombe include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Sedlescombe, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Sedlescombe: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Sedlescombe from London?
Sedlescombe is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work in Sedlescombe?
Yes, we do: Sedlescombe is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
