Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Questions from Donnington
My garage in Donnington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Donnington have asbestos?
Any home in Donnington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Duty holders and landlords in Donnington
If your business premises in Donnington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
