Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

FAQs for Landport
My garage in Landport has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Landport homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
