DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Staple questions
Do older homes in Staple have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Staple typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Is my garage roof in Staple asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
