DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Iwade
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are sheet garages and garages due a new roof.
Homes in areas like Iwade often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Iwade questions
Is asbestos common in Iwade homes?
Any home in Iwade built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Iwade from London?
Iwade is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
