Withdean questions
Do you work near Preston Park station?
Yes, we cover Withdean, including the streets around Preston Park station.
Do you cover Withdean from London?
We cover Withdean, about 45 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Withdean, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
