Our asbestos removal in TN20
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits.
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Open spaces near Mayfield include Crowborough Country Park.
Where we work in TN20
Across TN20, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Mayfield, Wellbrook and Five Ashes and the 8 villages and hamlets around them. The High Weald National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN20, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Mayfield: In older buildings across Mayfield, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. If you let property near Crowborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Late-December sunset in Mayfield is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in TN20
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in TN20, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

The scope of asbestos removal

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
Questions from TN20
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in TN20?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you cover TN20?
Yes. We cover TN20 and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
