For businesses and landlords in Hell Corner
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hell Corner
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Near open spaces such as Kintbury Newt Ponds, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing

My garage in Hell Corner has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a shop or office?

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
