About our asbestos removal in Whatlington
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From garage roof sheets and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In a village like Whatlington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Whatlington: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Whatlington and the area around Battle station?
Yes. Battle station is about 1.9 miles south of Whatlington, and we cover both.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
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. Send us the details of the premises.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Outdoor removal in Whatlington is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
What we deal with in Whatlington
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Whatlington, near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
