Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Sunningwell, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

FAQs for Sunningwell
Do you cover small places like Sunningwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Sunningwell have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
The scope of garage roof removal

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
