Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Cripp's Corner, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Helpful guides
Cripp's Corner questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Is asbestos common in Cripp's Corner homes?
If your home in Cripp's Corner was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
