Alfriston questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, we cover Alfriston and the area towards Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.2 miles north.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Alfriston?
We do: our area includes Alfriston and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once we are done:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The scope of garage roof removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
