Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Properties near Malling Down may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Barcombe Cross is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Barcombe Cross: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage in Barcombe Cross has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
