Duty holders and landlords in Chilworth
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Chilworth
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Pieces of broken roof
Near open spaces such as St Martha's Hill and Colyer's Hanger, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- Any exclusions
- What paperwork you get
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from Chilworth
Do you come out to small villages like Chilworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Chilworth from London?
We cover Chilworth, about 27 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. We plan garage roof jobs in Chilworth for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
