Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:

Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

FAQs for Rusher's Cross
How far is Rusher's Cross from London?
Rusher's Cross is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Rusher's Cross, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any exclusions
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
