- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Lower Denford questions
Is asbestos common in Lower Denford homes?
Any home in Lower Denford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Lower Denford and the area around Hungerford station?
Yes. Hungerford station is about 0.7 miles west of Lower Denford, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What we deal with in Lower Denford
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage blocks
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Hungerford station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lower Denford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
