Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Ore questions
How far is Ore from London?
We cover Ore, about 53 miles from central London.
My garage in Ore 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Ore?
Yes, Ore is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.

- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
