Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

St Margaret's at Cliffe: your questions answered
Do you work near Martin Mill station?
Yes, we cover St Margaret's at Cliffe and the area towards Martin Mill station, about 1.6 miles north-west.
Are garage roofs in St Margaret's at Cliffe generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
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.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
