Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos removal in Rotherbridge
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Rotherbridge falls into that category. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about asbestos garages and cement water tanks in lofts.
Rural removal near Rotherbridge can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that is needed.

Typical removal jobs in Rotherbridge
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
Older buildings in Rotherbridge, near The Parish Church of All Hallows or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Rotherbridge questions
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 4.8 miles east of Rotherbridge, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
