DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Beenham Stocks questions
Do you work near Aldermaston station?
Yes, we cover Beenham Stocks and the area towards Aldermaston station, about 1.2 miles south.
Are garage roofs in Beenham Stocks normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
