Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Donnybrook Quarter: your questions answered
Do you work near Hackney Wick station?
Yes. Hackney Wick station is about 0.5 miles north of Donnybrook Quarter, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Donnybrook Quarter homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
