How asbestos garage roof removal works in Smannell
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Smannell may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Smannell questions
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 2.5 miles south-west of Smannell, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Smannell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
