Cassington questions
Do you cover small places like Cassington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Cassington contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cassington may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we have finished:
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
