Questions from Bow Brickhill
Could my house in Bow Brickhill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Bow Brickhill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.

Helpful guides
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Lean-to roofs
Near open spaces such as Caldecotte Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
