Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Are garage roofs in Maxton typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

Does weather affect the work?

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
