Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Do you cover small places like Finstock?

Yes, Finstock is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
