DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bulverhythe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Bulverhythe questions
Do you cover small places like Bulverhythe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Bulverhythe from London?
Bulverhythe is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
