Questions from Wood's Corner
Do you come out to small villages like Wood's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Wood's Corner from London?
Wood's Corner is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Wood's Corner
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across East Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Dallington Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
