Ashlett questions
Could my house in Ashlett contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ashlett may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Ashlett?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you cover Ashlett?
Yes, Ashlett is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Typical garage roof jobs in Ashlett
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Sheet garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
If you are a landlord with garages near Hamble station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
