People often contact us about tiles found under carpet and panels behind old heaters, including textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and garage roof sheets.

Common questions in Bulverhythe
Do you come out to small villages like Bulverhythe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Bulverhythe contain asbestos?
Any home in Bulverhythe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Bulverhythe?
We do: Bulverhythe is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
