What happens next

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards

What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

FAQs for Roughdown
Do you come out to small villages like Roughdown?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Roughdown usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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 I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in Roughdown?
Yes, Roughdown is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Limits to be aware of

- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
