Questions from Rodmell
How far is Rodmell from London?
We cover Rodmell, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Rodmell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Asbestos removal near Rodmell
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and cement flues and gutters.
In areas like Rodmell, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Rodmell is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
