Helpful guides
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Harbridge: your questions answered
Do older homes in Harbridge have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Harbridge may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is my garage roof in Harbridge asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
