Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common questions in Combe
Could my house in Combe contain asbestos?
Any home in Combe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Combe from London?
Combe is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
