Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Accredited laboratory results

See how we quote or published price ranges.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition

There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

FAQs for Alfold
Do you cover Alfold from London?
We cover Alfold, about 33 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Alfold?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
