For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chiltington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Questions from Chiltington
Do you cover Chiltington from London?
We cover Chiltington, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
What happens
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. We plan garage roof jobs in Chiltington for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
