FAQs for Budds
My garage in Budds has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Budds homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Duty holders and landlords in Budds
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
