What happens next
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

DIY and asbestos
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Questions from Oldbury
Do older homes in Oldbury have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Oldbury may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Oldbury?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you cover Oldbury?
We do: our area includes Oldbury and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
