Questions from Monk Sherborne
Do older homes in Monk Sherborne have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Monk Sherborne from London?
We cover Monk Sherborne, about 46 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Monk Sherborne
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Monk Sherborne is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and double garages, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In areas like Monk Sherborne, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

If you run a business from older premises in Monk Sherborne, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

- A clear close-up
- The parking area
- Labels, if any

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
