Duty holders and landlords in Stanmore
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stanmore, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Stanmore, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Stanmore questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Stanmore homes?
If your home in Stanmore was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
Properties near Churn Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Stanmore is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move things out of the way carefully
