Duty holders and landlords in Prestwood

Prestwood questions
Are garage roofs in Prestwood usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Prestwood from London?
Prestwood is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
