DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Upper Hartfield, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get

- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Upper Hartfield questions
How far is Upper Hartfield from London?
We cover Upper Hartfield, about 29 miles from central London.
Could my house in Upper Hartfield contain asbestos?
Any home in Upper Hartfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you work in Upper Hartfield?
We do: Upper Hartfield is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What we deal with in Upper Hartfield
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due a new roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
Older houses in Upper Hartfield, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
