Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Gosford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Gosford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Gosford and the area around Oxford Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Gosford and the area towards Oxford Parkway station, about 0.7 miles south.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
How it works
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In December, it’s dark in Gosford by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Should you do 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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
