How asbestos removal works in The Pound
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In a village like The Pound, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

After we have finished in The Pound
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in The Pound:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
Landlords near Battle station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What paperwork you get
- What isn’t included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Outdoor removal in The Pound is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for The Pound
Do you cover The Pound from London?
The Pound is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like The Pound?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Prices and what affects them

- Disposal costs

The Pound properties and asbestos removal
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. The Pound has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from The Pound to Brighton (23 miles away).
In older buildings across The Pound, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about 7 miles of The Pound; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
Anywhere in TN33, asbestos removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Church Road and Linghams Lane; we cover every one. We also carry out removal jobs in Ashburnham (1 mile north), Brownbread Street (1 mile north-west), Bodle Street Green (2 miles west), Wood's Corner (3 miles north) and Trolliloes (3 miles west).

- Nearby, you’ll find The Ash Tree Inn (0.5 miles north-west)
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
