How asbestos removal works in Swaile's Green
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are cement roof sheets, floor tiles and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos garages.
In Swaile's Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

Swaile's Green questions
Could my house in Swaile's Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Swaile's Green and the area around Robertsbridge station?
Yes, we cover Swaile's Green and the area towards Robertsbridge station, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Swaile's Green
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
For non-domestic buildings like Staplecross Methodist Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
