Common questions in Cliffe
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Cliffe
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
