See how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Where asbestos turns up

- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs

FAQs for Roundshaw
Could my house in Roundshaw contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Roundshaw can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Wallington station?
Yes. Wallington station is about 0.9 miles north-west of Roundshaw, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
