Questions from Dukes Green
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 cover Dukes Green from London?
We cover Dukes Green, about 50 miles from central London.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
How can I get a price?

Asbestos garage roof removal near Dukes Green
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garage conversions and garages due for demolition, including cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Dukes Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Dukes Green
If you manage or own a block in Dukes Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Dukes Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Clear advice on your options
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
