Duty holders and landlords in Little Conghurst
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Little Conghurst, 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 do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt

Little Conghurst questions
Do you work near Etchingham station?
Yes, we cover Little Conghurst and the area towards Etchingham station, about 4.1 miles south-west.
Could my house in Little Conghurst contain asbestos?
Any home in Little Conghurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you cover Little Conghurst?
Yes. We cover Little Conghurst and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What affects the price in Little Conghurst
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
