Asbestos removal near Telham
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roof sheets, including gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Telham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Telham to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Telham
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may contain it.

- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
For properties on main roads such as the A2100, we plan parking and loading in advance.

What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
