Asbestos removal in Skippers Hill
How asbestos removal works in Skippers Hill
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, we cover textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
Rural removal near Skippers Hill can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

Skippers Hill questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Skippers Hill homes?
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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Skippers Hill?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
