For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Portmore, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

After we’ve finished in Portmore
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Common questions in Portmore
Do you cover small places like Portmore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you cover Portmore?
Yes, we do: Portmore is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is my garage roof in Portmore asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
