What else we do in Curteis' Corner
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Curteis' Corner must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Common questions in Curteis' Corner
Could my house in Curteis' Corner contain asbestos?
Any home in Curteis' Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
