If you run a business from older premises in The Moor, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Your questions about asbestos removal in The Moor
Do you work near Etchingham station?
Yes. Etchingham station is about 3.3 miles south-west of The Moor, and we cover both.
Do older homes in The Moor have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What we deal with in The Moor
