Afterwards

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Questions from Britwell Salome
How far is Britwell Salome from London?
We cover Britwell Salome, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Britwell Salome?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
