How asbestos removal works in TN6

Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in TN6 falls into that category. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.

We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools.

  1. Tell us what needs removing and send photos
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the job and send a written quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Near you in Crowborough

Locally, our jobs take us close to St Marys Catholic Primary School, Beacon Academy and The Crowborough Cross pub, among other places.

Where we work in TN6

Common removal jobs in TN6 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages. Parts of TN6 are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

Crowborough: In older properties in Crowborough, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like St Marys Catholic Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Late-December sunset in Crowborough is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

What we deal with in TN6

Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

  • Floor tiles before a new floor
  • Debris left from a previous job
  • Cement flues and gutters
  • Finds during refurbishment

What affects the price in TN6

Quotes vary because of:

  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • How many samples are needed
  • How much there is
  • Licensed or non-licensed

A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

  • The access route

Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.

For businesses and landlords in TN6

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

What we do and do not cover

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
  • We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

After we have finished in TN6

Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.

  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Send photos of the material and the access

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

TN6 questions

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

Do you test before removing asbestos in TN6?

Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.

Do you cover TN6?

Yes. We cover TN6 and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.

When can you start?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
