- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof

Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
FAQs for South Leigh
How far is South Leigh from London?
South Leigh is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in South Leigh have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Leigh may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
