For businesses and landlords in Filching
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Filching, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Polegate station?
Yes, we cover Filching and the area towards Polegate station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
