What else we do in Comp
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Questions from Comp
Is asbestos common in Comp homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Comp?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
