Cripp's Corner questions
Do you come out to small villages like Cripp's Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Cripp's Corner from London?
We cover Cripp's Corner, about 46 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Cripp's Corner properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about single garages and garages being knocked down.
Garages around Cripp's Corner may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Cripp's Corner
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across East Sussex.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Carport roofs
- Garages in a row or block
In Cripp's Corner, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

What else we do in Cripp's Corner
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
