Duty holders and landlords in Plumpton
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Plumpton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Common questions in Plumpton
Do you cover Plumpton and the area around Plumpton station?
Yes, we cover Plumpton and the area towards Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north.
Do older homes in Plumpton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Plumpton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Plumpton?
Yes, Plumpton is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
