Asbestos removal in Whitehawk
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Whitehawk: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From cement water tanks in lofts and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings and more.
In a smaller place like Whitehawk, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Whitehawk, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What else we do in Whitehawk
Whitehawk: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Whitehawk from London?
We cover Whitehawk, about 47 miles from central London.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
