    When you fill in your entry on the electoral roll tick the box that says not to appear on the sellable database. Also make sure your ex directory. Do this and eventually you will disapear from these sites.

    As the information these sites have is publicly available I doubt you will get them to remove it. You could always email them and ask.

    Get in touch with your local council.

    It may take some time to get your name off the public version of the electoral roll, and even then it will take more time for 192.com et al to reflect that change on their websites.

    But the starting point is your council.

    If you want to remove your details from 192, you need to contact your telecom service provider so that BT can ensure you're ex-directory. This is very straightforward, particularly if your provider is BT. Re. the electoral roll, you need to make sure you tick the box on the form. Not sure if you can change your status part way through a period (I think they send it out twice a year) but check with your council.
