About our asbestos removal in Uckfield
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts.
In a town like Uckfield, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, typically before renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.

Uckfield: your questions answered
How far is Uckfield from London?
Uckfield is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Uckfield have asbestos?
If your home in Uckfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

If your business premises in Uckfield were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
