Chestnut Street questions
Could my house in Chestnut Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chestnut Street may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Chestnut Street from London?
Chestnut Street is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

For businesses and landlords in Chestnut Street
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chestnut Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

- Disposal costs
