East Hendred: your questions answered
Do you cover East Hendred from London?
We cover East Hendred, about 54 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
