Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Privett
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about sheet garages and lean-to roofs.
In towns and villages like Privett, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
