For businesses and landlords in Rotherfield

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see

- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards

What affects the price in Rotherfield
Prices vary with:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach

Rotherfield questions
Do you come out to small villages like Rotherfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
