In towns like Gosport, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Common questions in Gosport
Do you cover Gosport from London?
We cover Gosport, about 66 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Gosport have asbestos?
If your home in Gosport was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you cover Gosport?
We do: Gosport is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
For businesses and landlords in Gosport
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
