DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Botley: your questions answered
My garage in Botley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an 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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
After we’ve finished in Botley
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What we deal with in Botley
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Buckinghamshire.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Amersham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the job needs notifying
For businesses and landlords in Botley
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

How it works

- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

- 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
